Finding Child Care  -  We Can Help You!

DISCLAIMER

A. We refer parents to licensed providers who are members of MCFCCA.  All members are licensed family child care providers through the California Community Care Licensing Division.  We provide an objective information listing service only.

 

B. No claims are made as to the suitability of any child care provider to whom referrals are made; these are referrals, NOT REFERENCES.

 

C. It is the parent's or guardian's responsibility to

  1. visit the provider during her business hours,

  2. check out the home and children,

  3. interview the provider,

  4. check out any references, and

  5. then determine if it is the place they CHOOSE to leave their child. 

The parent's or guardian's also have the right to request to see a Facility Report; this report is generated by the Dept. of Social Services at the time of a home visit.
