Business Supports for HBCC Educators Whose Primary Language is Other than English
This slide deck is from the third part of the Home-Based Child Care Webinar Series.
As noted throughout the BUILD Initiative Home-Based Child Care (HBCC) Webinar Series, HBCC is popular for several reasons: many providers offer flexible schedules, HBCC is more affordable than child care centers, and families feel more comfortable leaving their children in home-based care. In fact, nearly one-fifth of the ECE workforce are immigrants, with many educators speaking languages other than English and close to a quarter of all HBCC providers speaking Spanish. In this third part of the series, we explore business-support approaches for HBCC educators whose first language is other than English.
