Which Type of Child Care Is Right for Your Family?
LICENSED CHILD CARE IN A FAMILY HOME
Family child care homes offer many benefits for families looking for a licensed, small-group setting for their child(ren).
LICENSE-EXEMPT CHILD CARE
Many families rely on family members, friends, nannies or neighbors to care for their children. License-exempt child care can be high-quality but it is important for families to verify safety.
RESEARCH LICENSED CHILD CARE PROGRAMS
Raising Colorado Kids is an online resource that enables families to research the background of all licensed child care programs in the state.
