The Family Child Care System is an Organized Placement and Support System for the Care of Children 2 Months to 12 Years. The Cole-Harrington Family Child Care System contracts with Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) licensed family childcare educators in 30 towns located in Bristol, Norfolk and Plymouth counties.
Family child care educators offer a safe, supervised, nurturing "home away from home" setting for young children 2 months to 12 years of age. Children have the opportunity to interact with a small group of children within a supportive and stimulating environment. Educators are required to follow the High Scope Curriculum that promotes children's development and prepares them for school.
