What is a Family, Friend, and Neighbor (FFN) Caregiver?

Family, friend, and neighbor (FFN) caregivers are grandparents, aunts and uncles, elders, older siblings, friends, neighbors, and others who help families by providing child care.

Why should I be part of the FFN Caregivers Network? 

As part of our FFN Caregivers Network, caregivers will: 

  • Receive information and resources on child development
    and ways to support children,
  • Get to know other caregivers and families, 
  • Participate in family events,
  • Support on becoming a licensed caregiver,
  • Access free trainings, 
  • Receive fun learning kits that may include: books, activities,
    ideas, toys, and board games, 
  • Help us in determining the needs and support of FFN Caregivers, 
  • One-to-one support from our Early Learning Coach and much more!
