Local Child Care Resources

 There are many child care options in our community, but child care can basically be broken down into two categories, Child Care Centers, and Family Child Care Providers. All Child Care Centers must be licensed and Family Providers can either be Certified, Registered or Exempt. To learn more about what each of these designations means, click here.

Family Connections is our local Child Care Resource & Referral Agency (CCRR). Their trained specialists can help you find child care, usually within a day or two. They are your best resource for finding child care in the community.
