Family Care Solutions, Inc. (FCS,) a nonprofit community service agency, was established in 1992 to provide innovative childcare resources and services to low-income families in Southeastern Pennsylvania. FCS collaborates with public and private organizations to advocate for increasing access to quality childcare and childcare services to low-income student-parents.
FCS operated under the umbrella of the New Beginnings program of Resources for Human Development, Inc. which provides space and technical assistance to fledgling social service agencies. In 1993, the agency published the first of four printed directories, Who's Who in Child Care in the Delaware Valley (WWICC). The purpose of the directory was to make child care information more accessible to working families living in the Philadelphia region. In 1998, FCS recognized the need to support low-income single mothers in college and created the FCS Child Care Scholarship. FCS separated from RHD in October 2000 after earning its own nonprofit tax-exempt status earlier that year.
Sherrill W. Mosee, Founder & President and the Board of Directors envision FCS programs expanding to other metropolitan regions over the next several years.
FCS programs are partially funded by major contributions from foundations and corporations view a partial listing.
