Services for Providers
With so many demands on today’s families and an increased focus on early brain development, parents need all the support they can get to properly nurture their children’s potential.
That’s why our child care and early learning programs focus on nurturing a child’s development in a holistic way – by providing a safe and healthy place to learn fundamental skills, build self-reliance, and develop healthy and trusting relationships.
So to help our community as a whole, we offer a tremendous amount of valuable resources that child care providers of any level can use to improve their services and become an amazing service that families can trust.
Subsidized Child Care Providers
Family Support Services and Stage 1
We offer three subsidized child care programs: Family Support Services, Stage 1 and Foster Bridge.
Eligible families can choose any licensed or exempt from licensing child care provider that best meets the educational and developmental needs of their child(ren).
