What is a Family Child Care Home Education Network?
The Beanstalk Family Child Care Home Education Network consists of a select group of providers who are self employed, independent contractors. Each provider agrees to enroll children from families who qualify for the sliding fee programs (as established by the California Department of Education, Child Development Division) along with their private clients. Each independent contractor is licensed, maintains liability insurance, determines days and hours of operation, rules for their program, daily schedules, curriculum, services to be provided as well as enrollment of individual children and families. Additionally, Beanstalk staff provides on-going technical assistance, assess and monitor each child’s growth and development, establish individual lesson plans as well as implement enriching curriculum.
Who is eligible?
