Mapping The Family Child Care Network Landscape

This research report examines a specific quality improvement approach – family child care networks. It describes findings from a survey-based scan of the landscape of staffed family child care networks across the U.S. and draws on examples from in-depth interviews with a sub-sample of network directors. Findings from this study contribute new information about the types of services networks offer to providers and families and set the stage for future examination of network effectiveness.
