As summer approaches, the need for child care increases. Children that normally attend school during the day, will now need additional summer care.  Parents can choose between the different types of licensed/registered or legally exempt care for their children.  Parents need to arrange for summer care early, because space can fill up quickly.

The Chautauqua Child Care Council, is committed to providing referrals to parents searching for child care that meet their needs.  During the summer, the Council will be offering referrals to licensed/registered care including Family Day Care, Group Family Day Care, and Day Care Centers.  In additional to this list, will be the licensed (Department of Health) summer camps that are located within Chautauqua County.  These camps range from day programs to resident camps, religious camps to nature camps.  Summer camps can give parents and children a whole new world of experiences, one summer after another.
