Resource Library
Childcare and Pre-K options in Forsyth County extend past public and private options. As our families go to work, many care for young children at home or prefer to leave them with family members or individuals that they trust.
This is such an important time in a child’s life, where brain development and socio-emotional learning is at an all-time high, and we want our Family, Friends, & Neighbors Caregiver Network to know about supports offered to them in Forsyth County.
Learn more about efforts to increase support for Family, Friends and Neighbor care providers and to ensure children arrive to kindergarten ready for success in school and life.
This brief informational video highlights the support, training and resources available to individuals in Forsyth County who care for children in unlicensed home settings. Support for FFN Care is support for a family's right to choice. With more resources and support, families can raise their children in the environments they choose—rather than those being chosen for them.
