What the Family Child Care Home Education Network means for families
Learn how FCCHEN combines subsidized care for eligible families with licensed home-based providers and program support from CCRC.
A practical starting point
A Family Child Care Home Education Network (FCCHEN) is a group of licensed family child care providers offering subsidized care for eligible families. CCRC says its Antelope Valley network supports participating providers with coaching, training, resources, and program planning.
Eligibility needs an individual review
Participation by a provider does not automatically make every family eligible. CCRC and the responsible public program determine family eligibility, funding, authorization, approved hours, and enrollment requirements.
This guide is educational. A directory search or provider badge does not establish eligibility, funding, or participation.
Where Antelope Valley families can start
CCRC currently lists FCCHEN funding for the Antelope Valley. Shining Stars Childcare reports that it participates in the program; families should confirm current space and authorization directly with CCRC before beginning care.
