The Adams County Association of Child Care does not recommend or endorse any child care facility or provider.  It is the responsibility of the parent seeking child care to select a provider/facility that best suits their child, their family, and their philosophy on child rearing. You can view through the Rules and Regulations for Family Day Care Homes and for Centers to see for yourself what all the requirements are of each.  It is strongly encouraged that you make an appointment with the Colorado Department of Human Services (303.866-5088) and review the licensing files of each prospective child care provider/facility prior to enrolling your child.  The Office of Child Care in the Division of Colorado Human Services may be reached in the Denver metro area at 303.866-5958 or outside the metro area by calling 1.800.799-5876 or you can visit online at https://gateway.cdhs.state.co.us/cccls/PublicFileReview.aspx
