We offer several professional development trainings annually, of which many have CEU’s attached. All trainings are free to FCC Educators who belongs to our system, including CDA certificate training. We offer an early learning curriculum that developmentally appropriate, is convenient for family child care providers who also like to customize their curriculum. Bethel offers a reimbursement program for FCC Educators affiliated with us for educational classes related to the child care field. We have a full lending library that is free, including our own curriculum kits with great ideas to engage your children in care as well as providing early educational activities. We assist FCC Educators in the use of the Teaching Strategies Gold early learning assessment system.
We also advertise child care to prospective parents in your area and we refer all the prospective clients to you. We refer children and families for you to interview and decide on the child placement within your program. Additionally, we support the provider/child relationship, promote family choice and provide the services to help that bond grow through nurturing and early education. We believe that you should set the private reimbursement rate for all private children enrolled in your program. We provide all family child care Educators with the assistance that they need to ensure that their programs run smoothly.
