Tips for Providers

  • Are you offering care this summer? Share your summer program information with 4C by calling 800-256-1296 x1311.
  • Count every child under age 6 in the 2010 Census! Census data is used as the basis for distributing more than $400 billion in federal funds each year. Children, especially age 6 and under, are more likely than any other group to be undercounted. Read more or print a "Dora the Explorer" flyer for your classroom.

4C is the child care resource and referral agency for 23 counties in Ohio and Kentucky.
