How to Become a Child Care Provider

There is a great need for quality early childhood programs. Opening your own early childhood program is an excellent investment both for you and your community. The benefits are two-fold:
 

• You benefit by establishing a quality early childhood program and the families in your community benefit from the services of a high quality early childhood program.
• Opening an early childhood program takes money, time, and, most of all, organization and planning.

 
The first step to opening an early childhood program is contacting the regional Child Care Licensing office in your county to sign up for a licensing orientation session to receive information on vital regulations at www.azdhs.org .
