Child Care
Family Child Care is an early childhood setting that provides
care, education, protection, supervision and guidance in private
homes on a regular basis for one to six children. More than
mere babysitting, it is a specialized profession that requires
business and communication skills, as well as a growing knowledge
of child development.
