Registered/Licensed Child Care

In-Home Child Care

Care is provided to small groups of children by one or two early childhood professionals in the caregiver's home. Mixed-age groups and non-traditional hours may be offered.

Center Based Care

Children are cared for in a non-residential space with multiple early childhood professionals and overseen by a Director. Children will be grouped by age for their care.

Legally Exempt Child Care

Legally Exempt is child care provided on a regular basis by a family member, friend, or a trusted individual through an agreement between the family and the provider.

Contact our Legally Exempt Manager to find out more about this option for child care.
