Child Development Family System

We are a Family Child Care System under contract with the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (“EEC”) to provide support and assistance to family child care educators who are part of our System, as well as to your children who are in their programs, and you, the families. We arrange for child-care services to children from infants to school age. We are owned and operated by Child Development and Education, Inc., a premiere early education and care organization that operates throughout Massachusetts. The family child-care educators who belong to our system are independent contractors who run their own businesses. We provide assistance to these educators, but we do not make any business decisions for them or direct them on how to run their businesses. Our role is to provide advice, consultation and professional development training on early education matters such as curriculum, comprehensive services for children, child development and learning, and successful family engagement.
