Find Child Care

Infants through School Age Care
Good caregivers and teachers provide children with the stimulation

they need, and they show them that the world is a safe, friendly

place. Nothing compares to the relationship between a child and

parents, but strong bonds with a few caregivers help children become

more confident and emotionally secure.

The future success of your child depends on the quality of early care

and education that your child receives during the first six years.

As you search for child care, Collaborative for Children encourages

you to use the various information and checklist as your guide in

choosing the highest quality of care:
