Successful partnerships between Early Head Start (EHS) grantees and family child care homes promote high-quality care for young children and provide access to comprehensive services and supports that strengthen families in one nurturing home setting by leveraging the resources of both the EHS and Child Care systems, and by better coordinating the delivery of early childhood services in communities. While it may prove challenging to navigate both systems, this strategy holds promise for meeting the needs of our most vulnerable infants and toddlers, and it is worth the effort.
