Child
Care Providers of all kinds enroll for free on our child care
database. Families searching for child care online will be able
to find
information about your program.
How it works:
Child Care
Providers send information to us and Metro CCR&R staff enter
it into our database. Information is updated as often as the
provider
chooses to update,
but must be at least every 90 days or we remove the provider's
record from our database.
Parents have
access to our database two ways:
- One month
or one year paid membership giving them 24 hour access to the
referral database
- Free access
as part of a
benefit program through their employer
Information
given to families about the provider is limited to only that
which is relevent to child care. We do not give out a provider's
email address or exact location. We also do not give out information
for mailing lists, other than to send our own helpful Metro CCR&R
newsletters.
