PATCH offers connections to a wide variety of information for parents and families. We help parents take the guesswork out of choosing child care with referrals to local child care providers, information about state licensing requirements, availability of child care subsidies, and other resources. We provide guidance by phone and via our website to meet the needs of each family.
