Policy Brief/Analysis
FCC & Pre-K Policy Data Snapshots
Date
June 2, 2025
In 2024, NIEER, with the support of Home Grown, launched the Enriching Public Pre-K Through Inclusion of Family Child Care (EPIC FCC) initiative. Through this effort, we worked with pre-K system leaders and FCC educators in Alabama, Nevada, Durham, North Carolina, and Michigan as the established advisory groups, examined their pre-K and FCC systems, and/or developed policies and funding streams to support FCCs in their pre-K systems. These Data Snapshots are a part of the FCC & Pre-K Policy Guides series, which were developed as a result of some of the discussions that occurred during the EPIC FCC initiative.
We will be releasing additional issues in the next few months.
