For more than a decade, Laverne Cheeseboro has been caring for children at her family child care (FCC), Heavenly Made Creations. From the first floor of her home in a middle class Philadelphia neighborhood, Laverne’s days start at 7 a.m. and resemble those of many home-based early educators. The six preschoolers currently enrolled receive daily meals, engage in play-based education and learn through a curriculum built around developing social-emotional skills.
