Being a Family Child Care provider comes with its own unique set of challenges, skills, and licensing needs. Whether you’ve been an FCC provider for decades or are looking to start a program in your home, SC CCR&R has the resources to help you and the staff to guide you. Find resources for FCC providers below!
The Family Child Care Early Learning Network
SC CCR&R is very excited to be introducing the Family Child Care Early Learning Network!
The SC FCC Early Learning Network is a coalition of South Carolina’s family child care providers led by the South Carolina Resource and Referral Quality Coaches.
In-person meetings will provide FCC professionals updates on new training and regulations, the opportunity to build relationships with other providers in South Carolina, and time to plan and build their network.
We believe that the more tools you have under your belt, and the bigger your community, the better your care can be.
Find out about our upcoming October and December network meetings here!
Please note: there will be no November network meeting. The Family Child Care conference will take the place of this meeting. Register for that below.

Honoring South Carolina's Family Child Care Providers
Ahead of this year’s family child care conference, we wanted to highlight two South Carolina family child care providers who are going above and beyond to maintain the highest quality of care. My’Eisa Miller from Kingstree South Carolina is the SC state representative for the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC). Tawyna Ritenour is the only nationally accredited FCC provider in South Carolina, in addition to being recognized by the military for her work with families serving in the Air Force.
