What Child Care Connection can do for you!

• Promote your child care program by providing families with child care referrals.

  When a family calls looking for child care, they provide information on their child care needs (child's birthday, days and times needed, etc).  That information is then put into the database which produces a computer-generated list of providers that match the families child care needs.  If the information you provided to us about your program matches what the family is looking for, your program information will be included on the computer-generated list.

  We do not recommend one program over another.
