Home Grown launched with the goal of improving the quality of and access to home-based child care. In three years, Home Grown has grown into an innovation lab that prioritizes provider collaboration and leadership, while working to remove policy barriers, strengthen home-based child care practices and business models, and support the growth and recognition of the sector. We invite you to view a snapshot of the impact of our work over the past three years.

Home Grown has established and will lead the Nourishing Care Community of Practice (CoP) for state policy advocates who work across care, food, and economic stability issue areas
