Child Care Choices only gives information on availability of caregivers. We do not recommend or regulate. Families are responsible for interviewing and selecting the child care provider best suited to their needs. There is NO FEE for our services. Confidentiality is maintained by Child Care Choices for all information that is not public information. We do not share information about individual clients with anyone. Note: Child Care Choices believes parents are best able to evaluate and choose childcare for their children because they are in the best position to evaluate their children's needs. The goal is to assist parents in finding the widest range available for childcare, and to encourage parents to act on their own knowledge and feelings as they select among these possibilities. Responsibility for selecting and employing a childcare provider rests with each parent. Child Care Choices does not monitor the quality, nor does it recommend, the providers listed with the service. Parents are urged to carefully interview and check references before leaving a child in care.
