Child Care Resources and Referral
 
The Child Care Resource and Referral Program is a free service that provides assistance to families in finding child care programs and community resources to meet their individual needs. While the Coalition does not make recommendations regarding individual child care programs, we want you to make an informed decision regarding where you place your child.
 
For Child Care Resource and Referral Services or for more information, please call (850) 983-5313. Someone will be available to help you Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m until 12:00 p.m. or CLICK HERE for an online referral form.

There are no charges or fees associated with a provider listing in the Child Care Resource & Referral Database or for referrals to your program. If you are asked to provide a payment for a referral or listing in the Child Care Resource & Referral database, please call the Florida Division of Early Learning at 1-866-357-3239. The information reported about a provider’s program is objective program information that is based on standards that are attainable for providers based on their type of care.
