From our home on Saipan to families on Tinian and Rota, DICE Pacific supports home-based child care across all three islands of the Commonwealth.
Where DICE Pacific is rooted, and where our work supporting island families began.
From zero home-based providers in 2019 to a growing local network of quality care.
Home-based providers giving Rota families quality care and real choice.
In response to the CCDBG Act of 2014, the CNMI launched a System of Support for License-Exempt Family, Friend & Neighbor providers in December 2019. At the time, only five such providers existed across the Commonwealth. By July 2025 — through training, coaching, and persistence even through the pandemic — at least 58 providers had been certified.
From 2 to 33 home-based providers — the largest hub for child care in the CNMI.
From 3 to 16 providers — bringing reliable care to families on a once-underserved island.
From zero to 9 providers — child care where there was none before.
Across all three islands, the System of Support has grown home-based child care from 5 providers to 58 in six years — and has since expanded to include licensed home-based programs.
Every provider in the Reach Higher CNMI program is guided through a welcoming, hands-on path toward quality recognition — and never has to walk it alone.
Providers are warmly welcomed into the program with island-based orientation on Saipan, Rota, and Tinian — so everyone starts with clarity and confidence.
Hands-on coaching, training, and technical assistance delivered right here in the community — practical support tailored to each provider's program and pace.
Providers earn recognition for the quality of their care and keep growing — with ongoing support that sustains strong programs for children and families.
In its very first year, the Reach Higher pilot engaged home-based providers across the entire Commonwealth — Saipan, Rota, and Tinian.
What families can count on — the standards every home-based provider in the program met.
Every provider met the program's health and safety standards — a safe environment for every child, every day.
Ratios met CNMI code, rules, and regulations across the board — ensuring children get the attention they deserve.
All flagged items were resolved within the required time frame, keeping programs safe and in good standing.
Providers completed their required preservice and annual training — a clear commitment to professional growth.
Whether you're opening a new family child care or strengthening an established one, DICE Pacific will guide you every step of the way — with the coaching, training, and recognition your program deserves.
