Hello, I am Sharon Coleman, a family child care educator and founder of this website. I am the Director of Loving Care for Kids, a successful large family child care and preschool facility in Suisun City.

My child care business was established in March 2001. In September of 2003, I received my first Certificate of Accreditation from the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC), which certifies that my program has the highest standards of quality child care.  I am also trained as a NAFCC Observer to assess other providers going through the Accreditation program.

I serve as President of the Solano County Licensed Family Child Care Association and  1st Vice President for the California Association for Family Child Care.  As an advocate for children, I actively network with family child care providers and educators to exchange ideas, techniques and share concerns to improve the quality of early care for all children in our community.

I hold a Child Development Assistant Permit Teaching Credential from the State of California and I am currently nrolled at Pacific Union College pursuing a BA degree in Early Childhood Education.

I work as a “mentor” to other family child care providers and assist them in starting and managing their child care businesses.

I am an active member of the following organizations:

• California Association for the Education of Young Children (CAEYC)
• California Association for Family Child Care (CAFCC)
• Children’s Hospital Foundation “Miracle Makers Society”
• Crescent Elementary School Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
• First 5 Solano – Community Based Mentor/Validator Team
• National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC)
• Oakland Licensed Day Care Operator’s Association (OLDCOA)
• Solano College Early Childhood Education Advisory Board
• Solano County Child Care Planning Council
• Solano County Licensed Family Child Care Association

I am the proud mother of a son, Douglas, and grandmother of three wonderful children; Jaden, Douglas and Cynphany.
