Alabama has been selected as one of only four states nationwide to participate in a new initiative aimed at integrating family child care (FCC) educators into state-funded pre-K programs.
The Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education has joined the inaugural cohort of the Enriching Public Pre-K Through Inclusion of Family Child Care (EPIC FCC) initiative, facilitated by the National Institute of Early Education Research (NIEER) in partnership with Home Grown. This initiative seeks to support state, city, county, and tribal government leaders in expanding the participation of family child care educators in their pre-K systems or engaging FCC educators in these pre-K systems for the first time.
