“…Family Conflict. Family conflict is defined as role conflict that arises between the expectations of two different roles owned by individuals (Josephine Fernandez et al, 2018). In addition, conflicts within the family can also occur because of family obligations that are disrupted, resulting in an impact on household harmony.…”

This study aimed to seek the meaning, source of Happiness, and unhappiness of the Islamic people of Melayu Kampar Riau. The subject of this research consists of 308 respondents who were affiliated with the people of Melayu Kampar. Data collection used an open-ended questionnaire. In the instrument, the researchers ask three questions: what are the meaning of Happiness, events which make the subject feel happy, and events which make the subject feel unhappy? The data were analyzed using the grounded theory approach, namely open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The result shows that the meaning of Happiness for the community of Melayu Kampar consists of three components, affection, cognition, and spirituality. The resources of the happy community of Melayu Kampar are related to relationships (relationships) in the family, achievement, having children, religion, marriage, social life, and material. Meanwhile, the unhappiness sources are related to family conflicts, unpleasant relationships, illness, failure, loss, financial problems, and acts that violate religious values.

“…FCC providers are small business owners in addition to caring for children. This means they must have a broad skillset to be successful and often must navigate many roles simultaneously, such as business owner and teacher (Fernandez et al, 2018; Gerstenblatt et al, 2014; Hooper, 2020; Mimura et al, 2019). Most FCC providers are women, and Black and Latinx women are over-represented (McLean et al, 2021; NSECE Project Team, 2016).…”

Family child care (FCC) is uniquely positioned to address challenges with insufficient early care and education supply and access in the United States. FCC programs were steadily declining before COVID-19, and many child care programs, both center- and home-based, were at risk of closure early in the pandemic. This study examines closure among Alabama FCC providers during COVID-19. Specifically, we examine the timing and predictors of FCC providers’ closure using discrete time-hazard modeling. We analyze administrative data for the 788 FCC programs licensed in March 2020. Over the following 28 months, FCC closure risk was closely linked with COVID-19 disease spread trends. Providers who participated in child care subsidy or national accreditation had lower closure risk than those who did not. The protective effects of subsidy participation were amplified in lower-opportunity communities. Results have implications for mitigating FCC decline and identifying resources to support FCC providers’ continued operation.

“…Though societal perceptions of childcare professionals have evolved far from mere caretakers who keep children alive, there is still a distinct lack of respect for early childhood educators as a whole, and in particular the subgroup of FCC educators (Faulkner et al, 2016;Fernandez et al, 2018). This is an issue raised repeatedly in existent research (Bromer & Weaver, 2016;Gerstenblatt et al, 2014;Lanigan, 2011;Loewenberg, 2016), and it is highly problematic because it permeates every level of the ecological system.…”

Overcoming the Challenges of Family Day Home Educators: A Family Ecological Theory Approach

This paper explores a framework of family ecological theory for overcoming the challenges facing family childcare educators (FCC educators), who care for small groups of children in their own home. Pathways to overcoming these barriers through an ecological approach will be outlined by critically examining current research on these challenges. In this way, I justify using ecological theory as an effective tool for conceptualizing the challenges of FCC educators. Ecological theory describes how people’s growth and change is influenced by the contexts around them (Bronfenbrenner, 1986). For isolated FCC educators working alone with young children, the limited interactions, supports, and environments they encounter offer incredible meaning and possibility. Examining how the challenges they face can be overcome with a family ecological theory approach illuminates many avenues for success in this unique population. In this paper, the four main challenges of lack of respect, low wages and funding, isolation, and lack of training currently facing FCC educators are examined with an ecological lens to highlight opportunities for positive change. Final thoughts of how this benefits others using an ecological theory framework conclude this paper. Keywords: family day home, family childcare, early childhood education, ecological theory
