Parents of children enrolled in an FCC home can expect to receive the same quality of care as in a CDC or school age program. FCC providers receive the same training and support as CYSS facility-based staff. Each group of 25 to 40 providers is designated an FCC network with its own director and trainer and managed like a ‘child care center without walls.’ The capacity of the FCC home is determined by the size of the home and the ages of the children enrolled in the home. Generally, the capacity in an FCC home at any one time is six children, including the provider’s own children who may be enrolled in the program. Homes serving infants and toddlers exclusively (children ages 4 weeks to 2 years) can serve a maximum of three children. Homes serving school-age children exclusively (children ages 5 to 12 years) can serve a maximum of eight children.
