| As a parent or guardian,
choosing child care is one of the most important decisions you will
make for your family.
At the WKU CCR&R
we can provide you with information to make your search for child
care a little easier.
We will talk with you about what to look for in a quality child
care setting and what questions to ask as you interview a child
care provider.
The information you share with us in order to
complete your referral is confidential.
No one else will see your information other than as required by
funding sources
for the purpose of improving services or as required by Kentucky
statute.
You may receive a follow-up survey from our office or our funding
source,
University of Kentucky Research Foundation office of Interdisciplinary
Human
Development Institute.

While the CCR&R at WKU only provides referrals to licensed and
certified child care programs, we hope the following information
about area camps and activities and what to look for when choosing
a camp will be helpful. Listing these resources does not imply a
recommendation. It is always wise to request references and visit
programs before leaving your child.
