NAFCC Partnerships

The Florida Family Child Care Home Association (FFCCHA) believes that Relationships are KEY to Quality Care and Early Education. We have 18 Chapters and Area Reps to reach out to local providers and offer networking opportunities at quarterly trainings and an annual state conference.

FFCCHA understands it is very important and beneficial for the individual family child care provider to not only belong to their local and state association but also just as important to belong to the National association too. How does it know this?  An association is only as strong as its membership.  And the FCC provider/educator’s existence depends on the strength of NAFCC.

NAFCC gives your livelihood, family child care, national recognition as a profession.  NAFCC gives the individual, a national voice on policy-making and advocacy issues.  It gives you the opportunity to be included and “at the table” with other national organizations when decisions are being made that affect you and your profession.  “Family child care and Early Learning Educator” are now familiar words that cannot be left out of early childhood education discussions.  NAFCC keeps your business alive and prospering.  So, you must keep NAFCC alive and well by joining and making it bigger and stronger!

In fact, relationships are a key component of NAFCC accreditation and the observation too. FFCCHA has been awarding scholarships for accreditation fees to its members since 2000. Currently, we are awarding $10,000 per year to our members. FFCCHA has also hosted 4 NAFCC conferences in the past. We are a strong promoter of NAFCC memberships and accreditation. In the past year, we have partnered with NAFCC to host 4 Accreditation Trainings to increase the number of NAFCC Observers and Trainers. We will be hosting QAT in June in Clearwater, FL and OT in October in Orlando, FL.
