CHILD CARE INFORMATION SERVICES

Since 1991, EOC Child Care Information Services (CCIS) has served as a resource and referral program for all questions, issues and concerns about child care in Warren and Forest counties. This program:

• Provides referrals and information for all licensed and registered child care facilities
  
  
• Offers consumer education materials on how to recognize quality child care
  
  
• Assists providers and those who are interested in becoming providers with licensing, daily operations, understanding regulations, identifying funding sources and grants, and obtaining required training credits
  
  
• Manages subsidized funding for eligible families needing assistance with child care costs, including families eligible for child care services through the County Assistance offices

CCIS is funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (DPW) through the Office of Child Development, and partners with the Warren-Forest Child/Care Community Engagement Coalition, Planning for Early Care & Education. The Coalition is dedicated to promoting quality child care, school readiness, and community priorities.
