Family, Friends and Neighbor Care
Children being cared for by family, friend, or neighbor (FFN) caregivers in home settings is informal care, as opposed to the care provided in more formal and professional center-based and family child care markets. FFN care is also known as kith and kin care.
For more information about FFN, read the 2007 FFN Policy Paper or the Child Care Resources FFN Grant Paper.
