Abstract
Early childhood education is crucial to children’s development, with long-lasting impacts on their lives. Home-based child care providers play a significant role in the early childhood education system, especially in supporting marginalized communities and addressing equity issues. However, North Carolina’s current statewide pre-k program, NC Pre-K, does not include home-based providers. By interviewing North Carolina early childhood program stakeholders and conducting case studies on places implementing a mixed-delivery public pre-k system, this project aims to highlight the necessity of engaging home-based providers, examine their challenges in North Carolina, and explore practices to best support them.
