The Child Care program helps ensure trained supervision, nutrition and education for children while their parents or caregivers are at work, in training or receiving an education. In addition, the Child Care program covers children who are in danger of being abused, neglected or exploited.

Child care licensing specialists provide on-site inspection, technical assistance and consultation to child care facilities, ensuring quality of care and the enforcement of minimum requirements. 

Services to enhance quality of child care and assist parents are provided through partnerships with other organizations.
