Parents who are looking for childcare can complete the form below and submit to obtain a list of child care facilities in their area that will meet their needs.  The child care facilities obtained from our website are not updated for current spaces or waitlists.  Our website does not include all of our membership as some have chosen to not have their program listed.  The purpose of our online referrals is to give parents access to child care names during office closures. 

The Child Care Resource and Referral Program is a support and referral service for families and child care providers.  The names of the child care providers are provided to families by request and are in no way a recommendation of the service provided by the particular care provider.  The parent(s) has the responsibility for ensuring that the child care arrangement ultimately chosen is suitable for the family's needs.
