Including Family Child Care in Pre-K Resources

We are excited to partner with NIEER and Erikson to bring meaningful policy and practice tools to the field to pave the way for more inclusion of FCC in pre-K. While these groups bring different perspectives and engage different audiences, they each offer important contributions to support the many system leaders who will be necessary to make bold change to achieve an inclusive and equitable system. Below we share various resources that support the inclusion of FCC in pre-K.
