Families, Friends & Neighbors (FFN) Training and Mentoring Project for Child Care Providers
Funded by

This program is to train family members, friends, and neighbors who provide child care for more than 15 hours a week, without a child care license - this includes grandmothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors and anyone who helps take care of children. CNVEP is excited to offer this comprehensive training program that will involve classes in Spanish and English to learn the philosophy of nonviolent child raising as well as practical activities to do with children 0-5. The program will also involve field trips, opportunities to meet other providers, involvement in the CNVEP community, information about community resources, and support. Each participant will be connected with a mentor who will offer support and information on a one-on-one basis. Child care will be offered for all classes and events provided by qualified early childhood teachers. This program is FREE.
