For Providers

Our Home-Based Childcare Program aims to improve early childhood health and education outcomes in our communities through the home-based childcare setting.

WHEDco works with childcare providers through the following steps:

  • Professional development and training opportunities for childcare providers in health, nutrition, child development, and program activities
  • Providing regular monitoring & visits to each childcare provider to ensure that they are meeting childcare standards and to help them make improvements to their programs
  • Providing technical assistance and ongoing support
  • Training providers to implement elements of research-based curricula to meet the early learning and developmental stages of children, and to help parents be involved in their child’s development and success
  • Training on bookkeeping, reporting, and tax filing for deductible business expenses
  • Enrolling childcare providers in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) to help them serve healthy foods to children in care
  • Filing claims for payment and reimbursement to help keep their businesses generating revenue
