Why haven t I gotten any calls for my child care services? I need more children! If you have successfully completed all steps required to become listed on Illinois Action for Children s eferral Database, there are three main reasons why you may not be currently receiving calls from families needing child care: 1. If you live in an area where there are many other child care providers, parents may have found care in another program. 2. Parents may be looking for a specific type of child care such as evening care, part-time care, after-school care, care that accepts the Child Care Assistance Program, care in a particular area, etc. which may not match the description you gave of your program. r, the family s child care needs may not match the care your program is licensed for at this time. 3. Illinois Action for Children s referral service provides families referral information from our database. Note: we do not give recommendations; ultimately, it is the parent who chooses which providers to contact and select for their child care needs. How can I become a licensed child care provider? Step 1: Connect with your local Community Partner (see page 3) and ask about training opportunities and resources around becoming a child care provider. Step 2: Call the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) at (312) and request an application packet for licensing. This is the licensing agency for Illinois. Update your information on the Child Care esource and eferral Database Call us at (312) to update your program information so we can notify you of current events, opportunities, and refer your program to families in need of child care! I am looking for money to start up a child care center. How do I begin? Illinois Action for Children does not currently offer direct funding opportunities for those interested in starting a child care program. However, we can provide a resource packet of contact information for agencies that provide other support and funding. Call (312) to request this packet.
