Finding Child Care During a Crisis

Written By QCC

As the nation’s current health care crisis changes daily, Georgia’s child care providers are making decisions just as fast to keep their staff and the children and families in their care well. While many providers have closed temporarily, there are still programs around the state that are open and have availability for new children.

The best way for you to find child care options near you is to call Quality Care for Children’s referral specialists at 877 ALL-GA-KIDS  (877-255-4254).

Referral service hours:
Monday – Thursday 8:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Friday 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

This is a free, confidential, statewide service designed to help you find child care that meets your needs.
