Maria's Group Child Care (Home Base Child Care) Bronx NY. Family Child Care is typically a home-based service where child care is provided in the caregiver's home. Many Family Child Care homes provide high quality programs for infants and toddlers, preschoolers, school age, and children with special needs. Significant research has provided evidence that warm, loving and home-like settings are natural environments for children during early childhood. While offering the safety and comfort of home, and providing a consistent caregiver throughout the years, family child care is the preferred arrangement for many parents. The quality of child care has a lasting impact. In May 2010, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) released a report that found that high quality child care leads to more positive outcomes even during the teenage years.
