Connecting childcare providers with the families that need them.

Choosing childcare is an important decision that many parents face.  Early Childhood Connections provides the Black Hills region with assistance in contacting area licensed and registered childcare providers.

Parents may contact Early Childhood Connections when they are in need of a provider.  ECC maintains a database of childcare program profiles including

• Type of program (family child care, group family, or child care center)
• Hours of operation
• Group size
• Ages cared for in the program

Any licensed or registered childcare facility that has openings for children can be listed with Early Childhood Connection’s Referral Service.

Being listed with the Referral Service does not constitute an endorsement by Early Childhood Connections.  Parents have the right and are encouraged to discuss any questions or concerns with the Division of Child Care Services licensing workers at Child Care Services by calling 605-355-3545.
