Finding Your Child Care

Parents and child care providers form an important partnership in the healthy development of children. Choose a provider that meets your family's needs. Child Care Information Services is here to help you.

CCIS can make referrals for other services that may be able to meet your additional family needs.
CCIS provides information to families on how to select a child care provider.
CCIS provides listings of registered and certified child care providers. The lists are customized for each family based on their child care needs with regard to location, ages of children, type of facility preferred, hours and days child care is needed, etc.
Parents can now search for providers online at: www.compass.state.pa.us/childcaresearch
