Child Care Referrals

Families looking for child care can find help through the Child Care Referral Service. The goal is to assist families in identifying quality child care and child care options. Families are encouraged to act on their own knowledge and feelings as they select among the possibilities.

The Family Resource Center maintains a database of providers who work in licensed centers, registered or licensed homes and registered homes. After learning pertinent information, the staff can assist families by providing available referrals that most closely fit the needs of the family. Guides and checklists with questions to ask and things to look for are provided to assist parents as they visit centers or homes.

Parent and consumer education is done on a one-to-one basis. Additional information about parenting issues, child care, etc., is available through brochures, books and videos at the FRC.

The referral service is offered at no charge to families seeking care for their children or to child care providers who are listed on the data base.
