The Childcare Health Program has retired.
Please visit the International Child Resource Institute and the Multiethnic Education Program to see what we're working on.

 

Since 1997, the Childcare Health Program (CHP) has been a lead agency for partnership development and successful integration of community collaborations among the health, safety and child care communities. It is where visions developed via collaboration are implemented, field tested, adjusted and replicated for statewide, university-based and funded projects, which then use large federal and state grants to become institutionalized. CHP works with other community-based child care health and safety organizations to implement its mission of enhancing all children's healthy and safe development by promoting quality child care. Our services are available to all of the child care community, whether center-based, family child care, parent cooperatives, Head Start, or school-based child care. We also offer our resources and services to associations of child care providers, faith-based providers, resource and referral agencies, parents and all those connected with the out-of-home care of young children. In addition, we can provide the health and safety communities with valuable access to the children, families and providers in the child care community.
