The National Association of Family Child Care (NAFCC) defines family child care as the business of child care and the practice of early care and education in the program provider’s home (NAFCC 2018a). On average, family child care educators care for and educate about eight children a week (NSECE 2016). Most family child care homes have one adult educator. The size of the group of children is set by the state. Forty-six states limit that number to six children, nine states permit 10 or more children, and all states set limits on the number of infants and toddlers. In 41 states, the number of children includes the educator’s own children (ACF 2015). The number of hours that children spend in the home varies. Arrangements are often flexible for children and more affordable for families than those in other settings. Children may spend part of the day in a child care center or school, another part in a family child care home, and the evening with a grandmother or other family member. Family child care homes are an essential part of the child care that children and their families need.
