SFCS Provides Child Care Providers With Training and Resources


Child care providers have one of the most important jobs - the care and education of children during the most crucial early learning years. Solano Family and Children’s Services offers training and workshops which cover critical early childhood issues and contain relevant information. Through various activities, providers gain practical knowledge, which we hope will inspire improvement in the quality of care they offer to the families they serve.

Parents will also benefit greatly from any of our provider training they wish to attend or the parenting events we hold. In addition, we offer a monthly “Parent Café.” SFCS Parent Cafés are a FREE parent night with meaningful and guided conversations, where we share stories, get information on how to take care of ourselves and our families, and raise strong, happy children.

It's important for people to understand how their behavior and activities contribute to the safety of food and how they can decrease the risk of foodborne illness, while also reducing food waste.
