Process to Outreach/Onboard Programs and Providers
The program manager for IMPACT works closely with the local resource and referral (R&R) coordinator. The R&R disseminates our brochure to potential friend, family, and neighbor (FFN) providers and family child care providers, and it is also included in their provider newsletter. The Child Care Payment Program also disseminates our brochure to FFN providers that they work with. Information is shared at workshops and trainings. Most outreach is done by phone call and individual visits to learn about them and their program and how we can support them.
