About this list

01 / EXPLORE

Find your options

20 programs from your local referral list.

Age filtering uses the referral list’s age ranges, not confirmed enrollment. Grade-based school-age care stays visible; ask the program about grade eligibility.

What do the care types mean?

Family child care home: care in a home setting. Child care center: care in a group program. State preschool: preschool with enrollment criteria to confirm. School-age care: care around the school day. License-exempt child care: the referral list identifies an exemption; confirm eligibility and oversight with the program. Seasonal drop-off care: short-term care during listed operating seasons. Some programs fit more than one type. MCOE’s choosing-care guide ↗
