ACS/CUNY Informal Family Child Care Training Project

The ACS/CUNY Informal Family Child Care Training Project (IFCC); a unique public partnership that brings together the City’s child welfare agency and the nation’s largest urban university to develop a system of training and support in New York City for family child care providers who are exempt from regulation and who provide child care for families receiving a child care subsidy. This project assists the city’s informal child care providers to develop the skills necessary to improve the health, safety, stability and child development within their homes for the children they are subsidized to provide care for. It is a multi-year project, funded by the NYC Administration for Children’s Services.
