Family, friend, and neighbor (FFN) child care providers serve children and families across Colorado. As FFN child care providers serve working families, they support our economy and play important roles in the lives of young children.
Building upon previous work in partnership with Mile High United Way and the Butler Institute for Families, Early Milestones interviewed FFN providers and those who support them to better understand how FFN voices can influence Colorado’s early childhood systems. Our final report identifies strategies for how the system can be more inclusive of and better support the critical role FFN serve for Colorado’s children, families, and economy.
