We recognize that home-based care requires specific supports and resources that differ from other types of care and have created this space to acknowledge and celebrate the unique care that home-based child care programs provide to Delaware children and families.
DIEEC staff work with family child educators to drive continuous quality improvement toward quality early learning experiences for children. Our staff are available to support you through a cycle of reflecting on current and desired practices, identifying strengths and areas for growth, and selecting strategies and resources to support reaching your specified goal.
