Mentoring Program

Luthercare’s Systems Aligned in Learning (SAIL) mentoring program exists to improve the quality of care at in-home childcare providers throughout Lancaster and Lebanon counties. SAIL, a program operated by Luthercare for Kids, provides programs, services, and resources – free of charge – to Family Child Care Home Providers with the goal of ensuring that these children receive the same academic and developmental supports as children who attend center-based childcare. The program offers family child care home providers with an opportunity to interact and get one-on-one support from a mentor who has years of training and experience in the early childhood field.

All Lancaster and Lebanon County in-home child care providers with plans to establish licensure, and all family or group home providers licensed under PA Department of Human Services (DHS) regulations are eligible to participate in the Mentoring Program. A bilingual mentor is available in both counties.

SAIL gratefully receives grant support from the United Way of Lebanon County, the Steinman Foundation, the Dixon Foundation, the High Foundation, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.
