Child Care Referrals
4C offers services for families that are designed to equip families with the information they need to make informed choices about early care and education for their young children. Personalized, free child care referrals to legally operating child care providers are supplied promptly, usually within 48 hours of the request. Child care referrals from 4C are comprehensive and are accompanied by child-age specific resources and an interview checklist to assist in identifying high quality care.
4C employs two full-time referral specialists to assist families seeking child care. In order to customize your child care referrals, we need to understand the criteria being used to make your selection, such as desired location and hours. You may share this information with one of our referral specialists by phoning or by stopping by the 4C office in person. Contact our referral specialist by selecting the option that is most convenient for you. 4C referral specialists can also provide you with information about the Earned Income Tax Credit, Paths QUALITY, finding help paying for child care, and other community resources. E-mail a Referral Specialist for more information.
It is important to distinguish between referrals and recommendations. 4C never recommends or endorses any particular child care provider. Paths to QUALITY can help you identify high quality child care. For local listings please see the Paths to QUALITY web page on this site.
