Referrals for Child Care

Policies of Child Care Resources
DISCLAIMER: Child Care Resources does not license, endorse or recommend any caregiver, nor can we assure you of the quality of care provided by any child care program or caregiver. All child care programs that are referred are licensed/registered by the Michigan Department of Human Services, Office of Child & Adult Licensing.

Confidentiality - Any notes made during the referral process concerning a family's needs or circumstances should be considered confidential and recorded in the database only when it impacts the nature of the referral. Staff may only share a child’s special needs information with providers during an enhanced referral with the parent’s permission. Internet access to the provider database is on a contractual basis only.

Provider information collected by Child Care Resources staff related to the referral database will be kept for staff and/or parent utilization only. CCR does not sell or share child care provider/program or parent names, addresses, phone numbers, or any other personal information to any outside agencies for solicitation purposes.
