Locating Child Care —
The Child Care Resource & Referral will assist you in locating child care
agencies or providers to meet your family's needs and assist you in making a
well informed selection of the appropriate facility.
When searching for child care there are
certain indicators to quality that parents should seek out. Feel free
to print our
Quality Checklist
to take with you on your interviews with providers.
A Resource Counselor is available to talk
with you 8:30am-5pm, Monday through Friday. Call (229) 931-2997 or toll free at 1(877)

Parenting Resources—
Parents can access a variety of resources through the CCR&R,
including information on discipline, toilet training, immunizations, school
readiness and developmental delays, just to name a few. Call the CCR&R
to request specific information by mail or make an appointment to stop by
and visit.
Complaint Policies and Procedures-
As parents come to know their child care providers or talk
to other parents about child care arrangements, concerns may be discussed.
Often, a review of state regulations will indicate whether there is a need
to report a possible violation.
You may access Rules and Regulations for Centers and Homes
on the DECAL website:
www.decal.state.ga.us or contact our office and we will provide the
information for you.
