3. Do you provide child care services?
No, instead, the Partnership provides resource and referral services to help families obtain quality child care. A staff member will ask for certain information (address, work/school location, child’s age and needs, etc.) in order to determine the best possible referrals for your family’s needs. You will be given referrals to regulated child care facilities. These are referrals not recommendations. During the referral process a staff member will discuss quality indicators, special program options, and cost with you. For child care referrals, please contact Caswell County Partnership for Children.

4. Do you provide financial assistance for child care?
Not directly, instead we fund an Expansion of Child Care Subsidy which is provided by the Caswell County Department of Social Services.  To determine eligibility, contact the Department of Social Services: 336-694-4141 or Tonya Breedlove, 694-2047.

5. How can I find out more information about individual child care facilities and providers?
You may go to the Division of Child Development’s (DCD) web site at www.ncchildcare.net and view program specifics for individual facilities. You may also call DCD at 1-800-859-0829 to request additional information. If you contact the Partnership, we can also give you basic program information.

6. What will I need to become a licensed in-home child care provider?
