Parents are encouraged to visit and interview early educators before making a final decision about their early care and education. thread family services are provided free of charge, to include referrals, library use, and consumer information. We search by family’s specific needs including the child’s age, location, desired program type, transportation options, and other attributes important to the family. We can also answer many important questions about the early care and education programs in our database such as vacancies, fees, policies, caregiver experience, and types of activities available.
