NC Focus on Access to Quality Child Care for Children Experiencing Homelessness

Early Learning session at NAEHCY with Marsha Basloe with Child Care Services Association

This workshop will describe NC’s efforts to focus on quality child care for children and families including a toolkit of resources and an outreach and engagement project supported by Division of Child Development and Early Education. It aligns with NC’s Yay Babies Homelessness workgroup and the work of the CCR&R Council to add a special focus on helping staff and programs understand homelessness. It will describe the project history, activities aimed at parents and the provider community and new accommodations to make subsidized quality early care and education more accessible to families experiencing homelessness.
