Home Child Care Program

The Home Child Care program at Santa Maria collaborates with Hamilton County Job and Family Services and 4C to provide on-going training to currently certified home child care providers. Monthly trainings are offered to a network of 80 providers. Training topics include: Working With Special Needs, Every Child Has Potential, Communication Is Critical and Developing Positive Self-Esteem In Children.

In addition, twenty providers from the network of eighty are then offered more intensive services. This "core" group of providers receives home visits from the Santa Maria program coordinator who gives encouragement and guidance on how to implement the information gained from trainings into their home child care business.
