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: A Look At Three Years
Although we celebrate Provider Appreciation Day one day a year, the home-based child care providers who care for our children earn our gratitude and support every single day, every single moment of the year.
Hayley Village, a home-based child care provider in San Mateo County, California, shares her experience with unaffordable housing and what it means to have to relocate her family and her business.
Women’s contributions and experiences are not well represented in the record books, but it is just as rich and worth celebrating. Ours is a tale of community, resilience, and connection to one another, and it is inextricably linked with care work.
