Family child care is essential for families and communities, and providers should be able to ensure children are receiving high-quality care. But too often, family child care providers do not have access to the resources provided by state agencies to help them improve their level of care.

 

Licensing the QCCM program allows you to increase the quality of child care in your community by providing support to local family child care providers. Along with mentoring, coaching, and a supportive community, here’s what you can expect from QCCM training and professional development for family child care providers.

AVANCE has positively impacted my personal and professional life. It has been motivating for my career in child care. The training in different areas of finance and child development has complemented and increased my knowledge and thus helped me to help other child care providers. I have no hesitation in recommending AVANCE to people who wish to prepare and receive training in child care.
