- Information for parents on choosing child care and referrals to licensed child care options including consumer education materials on quality child care.
- Online search for childcare providers
- Management of state-funded child care subsidies for eligible families.
- Training and technical assistance for child care providers.
- Outreach to, and collaboration with, other community based providers of early care and education services.
Community Teamwork's Child Care Search Program employs a number of experienced counselors to help you find just the right child care to meet your family's needs.
