Resource & Referral Services

Choosing a child care program is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make as a parent. Your final choice will depend on many factors, and you should consider them carefully in order to best meet the needs of your family. 


In the ideal child care situation, children build strong relationships with their caregivers, and develop and grow in a safe and loving environment with their peers. You as a parent will be happy knowing that your child is well cared for in a nurturing and educational environment.
