Finding childcare can be a difficult experience, especially for the first-time parent. Becoming informed on how to choose quality care can make this task easier. Choosing a situation that meets your child's needs, as well as yours, will assist in reducing the stress of leaving your child for the first time.

What are my choices?

Anyone providing childcare to three or more children on a regular basis is required by law to be registered or licensed unless they are established primarily for educational purposes.

There are four types of childcare facilities in Montana (click on the below links to get more info)
	Family Childcare Homes | Group Childcare Homes | Childcare Centers | Preschools | LUP

How much does it cost?

Costs vary according to the type of childcare you choose. Do not let the cost keep you from getting the best care available.
