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. |
