| How Does the Referral System Work? |
| Now you have 2 different options when using the Douglas County Child Care Association for the FREE referral service! You can either call one of our volunteer’s listed below, for personalized one-on-one service or you can use our electronic referral system located within this site! The referral system is run by licensed providers who have volunteered their time to work with providers and parents in their area. Referral Agents contact providers in their area on a monthly basis to find out who has openings. When parents call, they give them the names of 3 providers who have openings. The benefit of the Electronic referral is that it can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days per year. A fantastic solution for people who cannot call for referrals during normal business hours or in emergency situations on the weekends. |
| Electronic Referrals |
| To access the Electronic Referral system click on the button on the left that says “Search”. In this area you can search using as much or as little criteria as you choose. You must use at least 1 search criteria. You can search by zip code, subdivision, elementary school, and hours of operation, among other things. After you select the criteria you press the “Search” button at the bottom and you will receive a list of results. On your results page you will get a brief description of the provider and their contact information. You can either contact the provider at this point or click on their name for more detailed information on that particular provider. On behalf of all of our providers we ask that you respect their homes and families by contacting them in respect to their business hours. Although, this search engine is available 24 hours a day our providers are not. |

| Investigating Providers |
| Douglas County Child Care Association is not in any way able or required to give any recommendations or observations regarding the licensed providers on our referral list. As the child's guardian, you are responsible for any investigation necessary to make an informed choice for your child's care. A licensed provider's record can be obtained by contacting Colorado Department of Human Services at 303-866-5958. The only information we require to become a a member of DCCCA is proof of current license at the time they join DCCCA. The only information we can relay to you is their current openings and their phone number. |
