The Institute is pleased to share the result of a recent project with the Sesame Workshop. Our Informal Family Child Care Project worked with Sesame Workshop to help them create a piece about informal (friend, family, and neighbor) caregivers for their Sesame Street in Communities (SSIC) initiative. SSIC provides short informative videos designed to support service providers who currently or endeavor to engage families and caregivers around a range of early learning topics and issues.
For this piece, SSIC focused on the Institute’s new Coaching and Responsive Engagement Program (C.A.R.E.), which recruits and supports informal child care providers caring for children under 5 years old through group learning and individualized home-based coaching. The Program Coordinator of C.A.R.E., Zoraima Rosario-Rolón, shares strategies that informal providers can use to care for children more completely. To watch the video, click here.
The C.A.R.E. Program is generously supported by a grant from the New York Community Trust. We would also like to thank all of the staff, providers, and families who participated in the project and the video for sharing their time.
