Narrative
Provides information and referral, as well as, education and support services for parents seeking quality and affordable child care; training and national accreditation support for child care providers; workplace family care services for employers; and in-home care and homemaking services for the elderly and disabled.
Family Child Care
Children are cared for in the home of the provider. This type of care offers a home setting, mixed-age interactions, small group sizes, and flexible hours. Providers may care for up to six children, and are licensed by the Department of Early Education & Care (EEC).
Child Care Centers
Care for larger numbers of children is provided in part- or full-day programs. Centers are organized to meet the needs of children and working families. They are typically open year-round, and offer programs to a variety of age groups. Individual child care centers may vary in terms of educational philosophy, curriculum, costs and services. These programs may be licensed by EEC or license-exempt depending on their overseeing entity.The basic adult to child ratios allowed by licensing are:
- Infants: 2:7
- Toddlers: 2:9
- Preschool: 2:10
A program may choose to have fewer children per adult than licensing allows.
