Placement Services
We pair families (placements) by children's ages, philosophies, and overall day structure to support the needs of the whole child.
Host Families
Here at Little Village, we advocate and support our host families! We believe in being dedicated to all families we work with. We feel strongly about requiring boundaries, and guidelines from families to make this experience as smooth as possible. This includes but not limited to: set hours, overtime pay, legal pay (w2), paid holidays, paid vacation days, all within a working contract. We want to make sure that your contracts, pay and benefits are taken care of for you. We will help you get your profile together, create a contract for you, negotiate accordingly, and continue to support you once a family has been placed with you.

Little Villages recruits and finds a placement for the family in need of childcare — specifically daytime care.
The Placement Service includes:
- Recruitment of childcare providers (the “Host”)
- Social media screenings to assess character, identify potential risks, and verify information
- State and federal background checks
- Two to three reference checks before profiles are shared with the family
Notice on Placement Services
Little Villages will ONLY place up to two children in a household, as any more than two children being placed would require said household to obtain a license with North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DCDEE) for in-home daycare, also known as a Family Child Care Home (FCCH).
Little Villages adopts most requirements set by the state as part of the screening process for "Host" families including:
- Criminal Background Check: All adults in the household (16 years and older) must pass a criminal background check.
- CPR and First Aid: Have current certification in CPR and First Aid.
- Indoor Equipment: Maintain clean, safe, well-maintained, and age-appropriate indoor equipment.
- Rest Time: Provide space and time for rest.
- Emergency Preparedness: Create and implement an Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR) plan.
- Age: Be at least 21 years old.
- Education: Have a high school diploma or GED.
