Take some time to review the National Association for Family Child Care accreditation standards and the different levels of quality that FCC providers can achieve. As you review, reflect on the questions below.

NAFCC Accreditation Standards and Benchmarks to Quality: https://nafcc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Benchmarks-2020-English.pdf

1. How do these standards align with what the FCC providers you support are already doing? Or what do you see within the standards that is already required by your Service?
    
2. What standards do you think the providers you work with would be most excited to work on? Which standards might be more challenging for providers to meet? What supports could help providers achieve these more challenging standards?
    
3. How might you use these standards to help introduce the concept of NAFCC accreditation and program quality improvement to FCC providers in your network?
