Do you have a child with a special need? Do you struggle to find child care that will accept and meet the needs of your child? If so, the Partnership for Children of Cumberland County, Inc. wants to assist you in your search for quality child care for your child.
LOOK FOR THE LICENSE
North Carolina requires that DCD license any person who provider care for a non-relative child outside of the child's own home. This license is issued based on the facility meeting minimum requirements that are essential to the health and safety of the children in care. NC Star Rated License is designed to assist parents in identifying quality child care facilities. These facilities receive up to a five star rating if they meet additional criteria such as increased provider education, parent involvement methods, arranged learning environments, and substantial compliance with licensing requirements.
LOOK FOR INCLUSION
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities. In most instances, this law applies to child care programs. A child care facility cannot deny enrollment or services to your child because your child has a special need. A quality child car program will discuss with you any necessary accommodations your child may require. They will also find ways to include your child in their daily routine.
