The Early Head Start Family Child Care Program is available through the Family Child Care Network (Family Child Care Provider Homes). All Family Child Care Homes provide free quality services to young children and to their families' ages 6 weeks to 3 years of age. Families are respected as partners in the early care and education process with their children. The Family Child Care Providers' homes are nurturing learning environments that promote children's cognitive, social, emotional, language literacy, and physical development. Providers are caring and competent educators who guide the children 's learning experiences by exposing them to a variety of developmentally appropriate Montessori activities. Providers strives to actively engage parents, recognizing family participation throughout the program, as a key to a child's robust development as well as to offer the learning experiences tailored to the changing needs and abilities of children.
