Ask Julie:
Got a question about children, teen or family resources?  Ask Child & Family Resources Coordinator Julie Taren, MA, MSW!

I want to find a Quality Early Care and Education Program for my child...

Finding quality care is going to take a little homework.  Connections for Children (CFC) can help parents/caregivers find licensed quality, early care and education programs for their children.  Connections for Children, a resource and referral agency, helps all parents, including parents of children with special needs and disabilities, navigate the public and private early childhood and school age care system.  You can contact CFC by calling 310-452-3325 or going to their website at: http://www.cfc-ca.org

The National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies is the national network of more than 850 child care resource and referral centers (CCR&Rs) located in every state and most communities across the United States.  Through their Child Care Aware, non-profit initiative, they have developed a series of publications containing important information for parents seeking child care.  These resources address some of the following topics:

  • Matching Your Infant’s or Toddler’s Style to the Right Child Care Setting

  • Choosing Quality Child Care for a Child with Special Needs

  • Selecting a Quality After School Program for Your Child

  • Five Steps to Choosing Safe and Healthy Child Care

You can download these publications and more in English and Spanish by going to their web site:  http://www.childcareaware.org/en/tools/pubs
