Finding childcare can be one of the most challenging
tasks. This listing is by no means complete nor will it ever
be a massive listing of providers - I have mainly listed services
and tools for parents to research childcare or place an ad. I
don't know the history of each individual service or listing
- it is a good idea and the responsibility of the parent to interview,
check backgrounds, tour facilities, and/or call references for
any potential child care provider.

Community
Coordinated Child Care - "The Resource and Referral Department
maintains a database of all regulated child care programs within
our five county service delivery area (Columbia, Dane, Dodge,
Jefferson, and Sauk counties and the Ho-Chunk Nation). Referral
Specialists assist parents with their search for early care
and education for their children. Information from our database
provides parents with a current list of regulated child care
professionals that allows parents to locate care to meet their
specific needs. 4-C Referral Specialists also provide enhanced
referrals to enable single and/or low-income parents to enter
AODA outpatient treatment by providing child care funding."
Cultural
Care Au Pair - Today's
busy parents face many concerns. Among those challenges
is the search for safe and dependable childcare that is
both flexible and affordable. For many parents the solution
is hosting a Cultural Care au pair. Cultural Care Au Pair's
childcare and cultural exchange program offers families
flexible, live-in childcare with a unique international
perspective. Your au pair lives with you as a member of
your family and your children benefit from a one-to-one
relationship with a committed and caring live-in companion.
All Cultural Care au pairs are between the ages of 18 and
26, proficient in conversational English and have documented
childcare experience. At an average cost of $300/week,
this type of childcare option is one of the cheapest ones
in the great Madison Area.
