Clarendon Early Education Services, Inc. proudly celebrated the graduation of newly licensed Family Child Care (FCC) educators through an FCC Licensing Supports initiative on October 15, 2026, in Hyannis, Massachusetts.

In partnership with the Community Development Partnership (CDP), the Kelley Foundation, and the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (DEEC), this innovative initiative empowered aspiring educators to become licensed family child care educators and successful small business owners.

Through individualized coaching, mentoring, business training, home visits, and educational resources, participants gained the knowledge, confidence, and tools needed to establish quality home-based child care programs.

We were honored to celebrate alongside DEEC Commissioner Amy Kershaw, a representative from State Senator Julian Cyr’s office, community partners, and the dedicated educators whose hard work made this milestone possible.

More than a graduation, this celebration represents new businesses, new opportunities for educators, and expanded child care options for Cape Cod families.

Congratulations to our graduates! Together, we are strengthening the early childhood education workforce, supporting entrepreneurship, and building brighter futures for children and families across Cape Cod.
