Child Care Intake

211 Child Care is a free, confidential and statewide service which helps match the requests of parents with child care providers and programs. We receive over 40,000 calls a year from families searching for child care. We are reaching out to you to obtain information that would help parents learn about your program.

We will gather your information such as your fees, program hours, openings, meals served , languages spoken, etc.

We look forward to learning about your program!

211 Child Care serves as the hub for Staffed Family Child Care Networks (SFCCN). Family Child Care Networks are funded by the OEC and offer free coaching, consultation, and professional development to help promote your business and allow families in your community access to quality childcare. You can visit the SFCCN website to learn more about provider resources for network members.

If you plan to offer meals or snacks at your program, you may be eligible to receive assistance for these expenses by enrolling in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). The CACFP is a federal program through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The CACFP provides nutritious meals and snacks to infants and children in child care centers, family day care homes, and emergency shelters; and snacks and suppers to children participating in eligible at-risk afterschool care programs. The CACFP also provides meals and snacks to adults who receive care in nonresidential adult day care centers.

This important information is shared with the Office of Early Childhood and community stakeholders to assist in planning and identifying needed supports.

Full time is considered 35 to 50 hours
