Child Care Referral Intake Form

The Child Care Council connects parents seeking child care for their children with New York State regulated child care programs in Herkimer, Madison and Oneida counties. To receive a listing of child care programs in your area, complete and submit the following intake form.

*NOTE: The Child Care Council does not recommend nor endorse any child care program. Because selecting child care is ultimately a parent's responsibility, we encourage you to check references, interview providers and visit as many sites as possible to compare programs to your family's needs. All consumer information is kept confidential and for the use of MYCCCC services only.  MYCCCC does not charge a fee for our referral services. We strive to provide the best possible service to our consumers, however if you have any concerns or complaints about our services you may contact the Executive Assistant or Executive Director at (315) 223-7850 x 236 or 223.

What should you look for when selecting a child care program for your child? Use our checklist of questions to help guide you as you determine the best child care program for your family.

Please complete all information requested; doing so will help our referral staff provide you with the most accurate child care referral possible.
