Child Care Resources

Finding quality childcare is a challenging and important task faced by many parents. When choosing childcare, parents want to be sure that their child is in a safe and nurturing environment that promotes development. Parents of children with special needs may find it even more difficult to locate a program that can address their child's needs. However, childcare resources for children with disabilities are available.
