CHILD CARE & EARLY LEARNING

If you need to find child care, the best place to start is calling the Child Care Hotline at 1(888) 461-KIDS (5437). They will help you find child care that is close by and is right for you and your child's needs. If you get cash assistance or SNAP (food stamps), the Assistance Office will cover the full cost if you are in in an approved education, work, or job search program. If you do not get cash assistance or SNAP but still have a low income, you may qualify for subsidized child care through Child Care Information Services. Speak with them to find out more information.

If there is an emergency and you need someone to look after your child aged newborn-5 right away, for example if you need to stay in the hospital for a few days, call Crisis Care Nurseries at (215)386-0251.
