What matters for your child’s day?

A licensing record is a starting point. Talk with the program and visit before choosing.

Care & connection

Who will care for your child? Ask about staff continuity, group size and how the team helps children settle in.

The daily routine

Ask about play, outdoor time, meals, rest and how the program supports your child’s age and needs.

Hours & cost

Confirm operating hours, tuition, additional fees, available places and any financial assistance directly.

Licensing & visits

Read the current CCLD record and inspection reports. Licensed capacity does not mean a place is available.
