Family Child Care Association is described as aiming to...

• A. Raise quality of early childcare
• B. Provide funding for public schools
• C. Regulate licensing
• D. Hire staff for centers

Answer: (A)

A professional group like the Family Child Care Association is focused on improving how care is delivered in early childhood settings. Its purpose is to support family child care providers, share best practices, offer training and resources, and advocate for policies that raise the overall quality of early care. The other options describe activities typically handled by government agencies or employers—funding public schools, regulating licensing, or hiring staff for centers—rather than the quality-improvement mission of a professional association. So, raising the quality of early childcare is the best fit for what this association aims to do.
