In 2010 a small group of family child care providers in Kent County got together to start a support group. They realized they were isolated within their homes and there was a break down in
wanted better communication, not only between providers and agencies, but also among fellow providers.
FCC providers Shannon Murray and Tonia Hurtt organized the support group. Through their informal meetings, they share information; attend trainings; take field trips together; and refer families to one another.
Meeting locations rotate between the family child care providers' homes. The meetings are usually held the 3rd Monday of every month from 6:30- 8 pm. To find out more, visit their Facebook page
