Are there any fees to be a member in a network?
No! There is no cost to join a network as a member. The networks are funded through the Office of Early Childhood to offer free support to family child care providers in efforts to “elevate” program quality.
I was in a network but now the coverage area has changed. Can I attend a network meeting outside of my region?
Yes! Membership in your regional network allows you the opportunity to be both part of your regional network and attend events as a guest at the other networks.
How can I access nurse consultation services?
Family child care providers can access nurse consultation to learn more about health and safety topics and access health and safety resources. Reach out to your regional staffed family child care network for more information.
