WHO IS FKCE? Glad you asked, we love to tell our story - - -

* FKCE is the only training program for licensed foster parents. All training discussing new regulations and mandates (legislated by the elected leadership) must be written into curriculum and taught to each licensed family home.

* Every adoptive parent must be trained & licensed first as a foster parent and much later might become the adoptive parent.

* FKCE has been involved with Napa College for at least 30 years and this is the first time the program has been housed on the campus. It is great to be part of the College, we look forward to meeting you over the coming years.

* FKCE is funded directly by the Chancellor's Office and reports to same for all activity, training hours and logistics.

* Napa Valley College provides over-sight and administrative services through the supervising Dean Kate Benscoter, Human Resources and more.
