Family, friend, and neighbor (FFN) care is the most common form of nonparental childcare in the U.S., and it is also often under resourced. As part of a groundbreaking grant in Colorado, the Early Childhood Health Outdoors (ECHO) team led outdoor play and learning workshops in English and Spanish for 170 childcare providers. FFN caregivers left workshops empowered with the skills and resources needed to confidently engage young children in developmentally supportive activities outdoors.
