Are you looking for Child Care?

We have resources to help! See Finding Quality Child Care.

Child Care Outlook has an extensive database with information on child care providers such as cost, hours, curriculum, available openings, and provider education.  We can also help with parenting information!  This referral service is free, and you can use it as many times as you need.  All the information you provide is confidential and will not be shared.  We hope to give you the tools to make an informed decision about what child care provider to use, and we do not provide recommendations for providers in our database.  

Child Care Outlook also has some funding available to help parents pay for child care!

The following state agencies help pay for child care vouchers that you can get through Child Care Outlook:

Department of Children and Families

Department of Transitional Assistance

Department of Early Education and Care
