A Family Child Care Mentorship Program is designed as a relationship-based process that offers guidance, examples, ongoing support, and encouragement to both new and established providers within the early child care community. Mentoring aims to bolster individuals' personal and professional capacities, thereby enhancing their effectiveness in their roles. Seasoned family child care professionals serve as mentors, offering advice, guidance, and expertise to mentees to improve their professional performance and development. This mentorship supports mentees in navigating their careers as small business owners, fostering increased skills and confidence in operating sustainable family child care businesses.

The FCC Mentorship Program benefits both mentors and mentees by promoting enhanced business practices, improved quality of care, and longevity in the early childhood education field. Whether serving as a mentor or a mentee, participating in this program can be a rewarding and transformative journey.
