Childcare Consultation
Whether you are an expectant parent or have children well into their teens, you will receive personalized consultation and assistance in locating childcare services with the help of a childcare specialist.
By accessing a database of childcare provider resources and links to several community resources in and around your area, the childcare specialist provides referrals for youngsters ranging from infants to teens.
The childcare specialist can offer information on how to evaluate the quality of childcare programs or providers, consultation and education on child development and parenting issues, written information and practical tools such as booklets, checklists and guides.
Referrals to community and nationwide services include:
- Day care centers
- Family day care home providers
- In-home providers
- Before/after school and preschool programs
- Summer programs
- Emergency/temporary/mildly sick care programs
