The Economic Impact of the Family Child Care Tool Kit Licensing Project

Last month, as part of the United Way of Greater New Haven’s Success by 6 Turns Six celebrations, All Our Kin held two great events to celebrate an economic evaluation of the Family Child Care Tool Kit Licensing Program. The evaluation, conducted by the University of Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis, revealed that the Tool Kit project delivers $15-20 of economic benefits for every dollar spent.

Investment in Family Child Care Training Program Boosts Local Economy

A recent University of Connecticut study commissioned by the Annie E. Casey Foundation further underscores the importance of investing in family child care training programs as implemented by All Our Kin, a New Haven nonprofit dedicated to educating and empowering parents and teachers with the resources and tools they need to run a successful business. 

The training helps parents become licensed child-care providers, while expanding access to high-quality early care and education and giving families more child care choices.

In this collaboration with Creating Kids/The Children's Museum, All Our Kin reaches out to unlicensed caregivers, offering a series of boxes that give them a clear guide for becoming state-licensed family child care providers. Each box contains the necessary paperwork for each step in the process, as well as health and safety supplies such as a smoke detector, cabinet safety locks, and a fire extinguisher; educational supplies such as quality children's books, blocks, and art materials; and vouchers for first aid training.
