Family daycare is an invaluable alternative to traditional daycare. With family daycare, families can benefit from having their children in a smaller group setting in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. Parents appreciate the cost savings and the peace of mind in knowing that their babies are in a comfortable, safe, and nurturing environment. Additionally, family daycare provides children with more individualized attention from caregivers in comparison to other types of daycare centers.
