Family child care homes have a smaller child to adult ratios then childcare centers. Smaller ratios and continuity of care are very important for a child to create a special bond with caregivers.
The child needs to create this bond so that they can feel secure and safe. When a child does not feel safe his sleeping, eating and social development can be affected. Usually at daycare centers, the staff has a high turnover. That means that your child is usually not with the same caregiver for long and this can affect bonding.
A family child care provider is always with the child and this is a wonderful way to insure that the child can form an attachment with a caregiver other then his parents. The bonds your child makes in the first few years of life can affect them as adults.

Family Child Care ( reposted)
Imagine the laughter of little children playing, the sights of them enthralled with a toy and experiencing learning through play. You may think you are in a childcare center but chances are you are in a family childcare home. Many new parents over look the positive experience their child can have in a home environment because they don’t know about licensed family child care.
When you begin your search for that perfect childcare for your child, you visit many centers and you feel something is missing. When placing your most precious gift into the care of others you look for that perfect person who can care for your child. Not only do you want a fun place for your child to be during the day but you want to know that your child is safe. Not many centers can offer you provider stability but a family child care home can.
So what exactly is a family child care home? A family child care home is a house where you would bring your child to be cared for while you are at work. Many parents like their child to be in a home like environment. This home could be like your house, like a small childcare or even a mixture of both.
