ENF Family Day Care Program was initiated
and funded by New York City's Agency For Child Development and the
New York State Department of Social Services. This unique program
offers a 30 hour course for individuals interested in caring for
infants, toddlers, pre-school children and school-aged children
requiring supervision after school. The curriculum covers such subjects
as child development, safety, first aid, food and nutrition, age
appropriate activities, supervision and business management.
Upon successfully completing the course,
participants are certified by the New York City Department of Health
and are eligible to provide child care services in their homes.
ENF has offered start-up funds and equipment to those individuals
who joined ENF's Child Care Provider Network.
Over 1,000 participants have completed
the course and are now providing quality child care for the residents
of East Flatbush.
