Home Grown is committed to ensuring that home-based child care providers can fully participate in well-resourced early childhood initiatives including Pre-Kindergarten (Head Start and others). In order to do this, we recognize that systems need to make policy and practice changes to equitably and appropriately include home-based child care providers and the families that they serve. For the past two years, Home Grown has invested in research and policy analysis to support the inclusion of family child care programs (FCC) in state and city-funded PreK initiatives from the National Institute of Early Education Research and the Pre-K in Family Child Care Project Team led by Erikson Institute.

Home Grown is bridging theory and practice, empowering PreK leaders and administrators to equitably and effectively integrate Family Child Care (FCC) providers into public PreK systems through expert technical assistance and guided action plans.The goal of this effort will be to increase the number of FCC providers that participate in state and city-funded PreK programs, and to increase the responsiveness and appropriateness of mixed-delivery PreK systems to FCC providers. Support to localities will include navigation of tools and resources, planning and specialized technical assistance, connections to other PreK leaders, and connections to funding opportunities.

Interested state, county, or city PreK leaders are encouraged to complete this interest form for the opportunity. You will be added to the mailing list and notified of upcoming TA opportunities.
