Next JCC Home-Based
Childcare Program Begins March 28, 2023
Jefferson
Community College (JCC) home-based childcare program model continues to
lead the way in bridging the gap for childcare providers in the North
Country. The next program for those interested in starting a home-based
childcare business begins with a mandatory kick-off meeting on JCC’s campus
in Watertown on March 28, 2023 from 6:00
p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in Room 3-117, Dulles (Building 3). This program,
generously supported by Jefferson County Local Development Corporation,
assists parents entering the job market with safe, affordable, high-quality
childcare.
Program
participants will receive assistance to become registered childcare
providers in their homes with business and education training and
assistance with the state registration and licensing processes. Full
program details are available on the College’s website, www.sunyjefferson.edu.
JCC’s pilot for
the Home-Based Childcare Business training program began in June 2021,
serving 20 residents from Jefferson and Lewis counties. Since then, the
College developed online components on Coursera (an online education
provider), reaching over 3,900 students using this innovative course
delivery method. The program at JCC has become a model for other
communities, including a recent partnership between JCC, Oswego County,
Integrated Community Planning of Oswego County, the Small Business Development
Center and Oswego County Workforce New York, which
launched a similar training program in February 2023.
Training is free
and made available on JCC’s campus and online. Child care
stipends are available for participants. Upon successful completion,
participants will be prepared to start their own home-based childcare
business in as-little-as four months!
