How can I find out more about the provider listed in MyChildCare.ca.gov?

How can I find help paying for childcare?

MyChildCare.ca.gov provides information on all licensed center-based and family childcare homes. This includes both private-pay and subsidized childcare. Children of essential workers are now eligible to enroll in subsidized emergency childcare through June 30, 2020, or 60 calendar days after the date of the child’s enrollment, whichever is longer. This is subject to capacity and eligibility requirements. Your local childcare resource and referral agency can answer more questions about childcare subsidies.
