Home Grown partnered with the Erikson Institute to create the Building Comprehensive Home-Based Child Care Networks: Evaluation Toolkit. This Toolkit is intended to help evaluate Home-based Child Care (HBCC) networks. It includes tools that can be used to collect data to assess an initiative’s progress toward meeting its goals. Utilizing this toolkit can help assess a network’s impact, promote continuous improvement, support case making and provide evidence and data around HBCC providers.
