Find a Child Care Specialist You Can Trust With This New Tool

Need some help finding child care you can trust? The County’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can help! They offer a ZIP-code online search tool of child care providers as well as a phone consultation with an EAP work life specialist. You can contact EAP and speak to someone that will provide you additional support by searching for local child care providers. 

An EAP representative will do the research and within 48 hours you’ll have a list meeting your family’s needs. The representative will confirm a host of details, including availability, price, hours of operation, extracurricular activities and any other details you may be interested in receiving.

Child care consultants can also search for a variety of resources for children with disabilities and offer resources for emergency back-up care. The Parenting section has information for parents and caregivers of all different experience levels and kids of all different ages. They offer advice on everything from raising your child’s self-esteem to keeping backseat chaos to a minimum.

There’s also an Adoption module that offers tips and information for all stages of the process.

Child care consultants can help parents consider the care options available and choose the one that best suits your family’s needs.

If there are any changes in your child care needs, you’re eligible to make changes and even start or stop contributions to a dependent care flexible spending account.

If you want to obtain a background check on your preferred provider, Imperative offers a number of criminal background investigation packages available at a discount. Pricing on the background screening service ranges from $70 to $270.
