LIST OF CHILD CARE OPTIONS FOR MAUI FAMILIES AFFECTED BY THE RECENT FIRES

Access link HERE

A list of child care options for families affected by the fires in Maui is now available. PATCH, the state’s designated Child Care Resource & Referral Agency, worked with licensed and registered providers to determine who is still operating and providing care.

This list is being updated on a regular basis. It contains contact information, ages the program accepts, address, city (for Family Child Care providers), and phone number. Parents can call PATCH’s referral lines for further assistance at (808) 242-9232.

If licensed or registered providers are willing to provide care for keiki on Maui, they can contact PATCH to be placed on the list.
