Session Objectives
Participants will:
• Identify strategies, challenges, and opportunities for FCC supply building
• Describe and explore staffed child care networks and shared services for family child care homes

![Page 4: Supply-Building Strategies to Meet the Needs of Family ... · Escaleras Pilot Program - Southeast Regional Key –Supporting Friend/Neighbor (F/N) providers from immigrant communities](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f595b7456731853e2036425/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Family Child Care? • One in two children under age 5 in non-parental child care arrangements are cared
for in some home-based child care setting (Laughlin, 2013)
• Close to 4 million home-based providers care for 7 million children ages 0-5; most providers are unpaid, unlisted (NSECE, 2015).
• Infants and toddlers more likely to be cared for in home-based child care (Johnson, 2005; NSECE, 2013)
• Low-income families with non-standard work hours more likely to rely on home-based child care (Johnson, 2005)
• Over a quarter of children in subsidized child care are in FCC (Office of Child Care, 2014) – 30% of infants in subsidized child care are in FCC
– 27% of toddlers in subsidized child care are in FCC

Why Family Child Care?
![Page 6: Supply-Building Strategies to Meet the Needs of Family ... · Escaleras Pilot Program - Southeast Regional Key –Supporting Friend/Neighbor (F/N) providers from immigrant communities](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f595b7456731853e2036425/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What do we know about FCC?
• More infants and toddlers than in centers – preferred choice of many parents with children under the age of three
• Low-income families with non-standard hours use this care
• About one-third of children in subsidized child care are in HBCC
• Offers care for mixed age groups
• Neighborhood-based, can offer care for families of same culture and language
![Page 7: Supply-Building Strategies to Meet the Needs of Family ... · Escaleras Pilot Program - Southeast Regional Key –Supporting Friend/Neighbor (F/N) providers from immigrant communities](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f595b7456731853e2036425/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What do we know about FCC? (cont)
• All children from one family can attend a FCC home
• Caregivers work long hours, for low payment rates
• Caregivers can feel isolated and unsupported (lack of access to resources and information)
• Decline in children cared for in licensed FCC: Children receiving subsidies and the number of licensed or regulated FCC providers
• Other……..

Build the Case with Data Now What????
• Engage partners and communities to identify appropriate strategies
– Community forums
– Partner Engagement
– Mapping to avoid duplication
• Monitor supply building through ongoing evaluation to assess progress towards goals

Overview
• Family Child Care In Oregon –2,919 programs, 690 in state QRIS
above licensing
• Geography – FCC the only option in rural and frontier
parts of Oregon – FCC is the main choice for families who
have been traditionally underrepresented
![Page 22: Supply-Building Strategies to Meet the Needs of Family ... · Escaleras Pilot Program - Southeast Regional Key –Supporting Friend/Neighbor (F/N) providers from immigrant communities](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f595b7456731853e2036425/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Supply Versus Demand in Child Care
![Page 23: Supply-Building Strategies to Meet the Needs of Family ... · Escaleras Pilot Program - Southeast Regional Key –Supporting Friend/Neighbor (F/N) providers from immigrant communities](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f595b7456731853e2036425/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Supply Versus Demand in Child Care
![Page 24: Supply-Building Strategies to Meet the Needs of Family ... · Escaleras Pilot Program - Southeast Regional Key –Supporting Friend/Neighbor (F/N) providers from immigrant communities](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f595b7456731853e2036425/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Focused Child Care Networks Goal
To increase the supply of high quality child care with communities that have been traditionally underrepresented
and/or experienced poverty
![Page 25: Supply-Building Strategies to Meet the Needs of Family ... · Escaleras Pilot Program - Southeast Regional Key –Supporting Friend/Neighbor (F/N) providers from immigrant communities](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f595b7456731853e2036425/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Focused Child Care Networks Design
• Uses the QRIS as the framework for quality improvement
• Early Learning Hubs receive the funds to support the networks (20 networks across 16 Hubs)
• Child care programs within priority communities is the focus of recruitment
• Use a cohort model to support programs with quality improvement
• Each network is staffed with a .5 FTE
• Programs receive enhanced funding to help with quality improvements

PA’s Current Context
• 2, 253 Family Child Care Homes
– 22% participating in Keystone STARS
– 94 FCCH at STAR 3 or 4
• Transitioning FCCHs from Registered to Certified Status
• Opportunities in our QRIS Re-visioning
– How is it possible to make CQI meaningful and engaging for our FCCHs?
– How is it possible to allow FCCH to own the process?
– How is it possible to support access to quality for all children served in home-
based settings?
– How is it possible to best support our most vulnerable children and the
providers who serve them?
