In 2010, the National Association of Child Care Resource amp; Referral Agencies (NACCRRA)  and Save the Children: Domestic Emergencies Unit began developing detailed, model child care preparedness standards to operationalize Save the Children’s policy recommendations for child care emergency preparedness and to encourage states to incorporate needed changes into their state child care center and family child care regulations. The standards provide specific guidance for state-level planners and policymakers. Separate lists of standards were developed for child care centers and family child care homes since many states have separate child care regulations for these two types of child care facilities. In addition to eight major standards for each type of child care program, sub-standards and supporting rationale were developed.
