Advocating for children, families and communities facing barriers to high quality child care. | |
There are over 37,000 family child care providers who care for over 362,000 children in the provider’s own home. They face unique challenges and must comply with state and local laws as residences, businesses and care providers. We provide legal information to family child care providers throughout the state and have developed written materials addressing common legal questions. Issues include: the licensing of family child care providers, subsidized child care, zoning and land use, and family child care in homeowners associations and as renters.
The San Francisco Family Child Care Professional Development Project supports the recruitment and retention of quality licensed family child care providers by developing the capacity of these providers to manage the complex legal and business risks associated with running a family child care business. Coordinated by the Child Care Law Center, the project involves close collaboration with the Child Care Facilities Fund of the Low Income Investment Fund, as well as Wu Yee Children's Services, Children's Council of San Francisco, and City College of San Francisco. Workshops taught by the Child Care Law Center on legal issues in child care and workshops taught by the Child Care Facilities Fund on business issues in child care are held in conjunction with City College of San Francisco courses.
