Child Action provides free child care referrals Sacramento families rely on to find quality care. Our child care referral policies are designed to guide this process, explaining your rights and what to expect. We share up-to-date information such as hours, ages served, location, and fees. You can compare options and make the best choice for your family. We do not recommend or rank providers. The decision is yours. Your privacy is protected. Referral requests are always confidential. We connect families with licensed centers and family child care homes. Some community programs may also be legally license-exempt. We do not inspect facilities or guarantee quality. Families make their own choice.

Before choosing care, we encourage families to review a provider’s licensing history and inspection reports. Our referrals give you a strong starting point, but the final decision rests with you. You have the right to ask about complaints and learn more before enrolling your child.
