County child-protection reporting contacts, emergency guidance and child-care referral, licensing and subsidy resources.

Before you start · 3 things to check

For an emergency, follow the cited emergency guidance. Suspected child-abuse reports go to the appropriate county reporting agency, using the number and time/location labels in the official directory.
The state directory publisher, mandated-reporter training site, child-care licensing complaint line and child-care subsidy appeal route have separate purposes.
Child-care searches and referrals do not confirm an available placement, subsidy, provider license or a full review of an individual facility.
