Portraits of Courage - The Fight for Family Child Care

Family Child Care has always been a critical piece of the ECE landscape. Even so, there has always been a battle for FCC recognition within the profession as well as in public policy.

 

This month, we’ll dive into the constant struggle with how FCC is funded, perceived, and supported as we highlight courageous leader Jessica Sager. As someone who has been a strong leader and advocate for FCC, Jessica has also faced the strain of being turned away and having doors closed. Jessica will share her brave story of fighting to move Family Child Care forward. She will be joined by next-generation leaders who are supporting this movement.
