Family Child Care Association of Maine

The Family Child Care Association understands the critical role of family child care providers in the lives of children and families.  We also understand the hard work and long hours that are required to provide the much needed child care services in Maine’s diverse communities.

FCCAM welcomes all of Maine’s Family Child Care Professionals and supporters of family child care to join the Family Child Care Association of Maine (FCCAM), Maine’s state affiliate for the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC). 

JOIN US!

The FCCAM Business Tool Kit has been developed to provide family child care providers with a go to place for resource links, tips and templates to support the business end of strong, professional, sustainable family child care programs. We will continue to both add to and update the resources shared here to provide the most timely materials possible. 

You can modify and print for your own use. Please do not distribute any resources found here for profit.

For those just getting started or thinking about entering this rewarding field start by checking out our posts on Starting a Family Child Care (Part 1) and (Part 2).
