Childcare

There are various types of settings for children and childcare; from family daycare, in-home care, daycare centers or a grandparent.  When deciding what sort of childcare is best for you and your child, there are a few questions you should ask yourself. 

What sort of setting do I want for my child? Do I want my child to partake in a large group setting or one-on-one? Will the setting that I choose be flexible to meet the needs of my work schedule?  How much will I have to pay for quality care? How far am I willing to travel?

 It takes time, money and effort to find quality daycare for your child.  A positive childcare environment will provide a well balanced  program that will engage your child in physical, social, emotional, intellectual, environmental and cultural development. 

There are programs available to assist you in paying for quality daycare if you meet the income guidelines; please contact your local social services office-the phone number is listed in the service directories section of this web site.
