With the changing of social structure, the increasing demand for family care has attracted widespread attention. The family cooperative care model, as an innovative way of childcare, demonstrates its unique advantages in alleviating parents' economic and time pressures, and enhancing the quality of childcare. Through an in-depth study of the definition, current status, existing issues, and possible solutions of the family cooperative care model, this article reveals that it is becoming an effective supplement to family care. However, challenges such as the level of community resource support and the sustainability of the model are gradually becoming more prominent. Research results suggest that strengthening the construction of community care resources, raising awareness of community residents' participation, standardizing management, as well as the support of legal policies and the guidance of cultural values, are key to achieving sustainable development of family cooperative care.
