Parents and Families

We provide resources that give families valuable information regarding child care options and tips for selecting quality child care. Our Referral Specialists take the time to help families find a child care provider that will work best with their schedules, income, location, and special needs. Please note that this service is Free and Confidential. Also the list we provide you is a Referral, not a Recommendation. Please see information below on choosing quality child care.
