Today begins a free service to Georgia parents in search of quality and affordability in child care. The referral program is a combined effort of the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning, and the nonprofit Quality Care for Children. Bilingual staff is available for questions and to tap a statewide database of information on more than 8,000 licensed child care providers. The program is being funded by a $500,000 dollar federal grant. Information on the new child care referral service is available on the web by going to allgakids.org.

Report: state funds for child care dwindle
Poor families in Georgia need more subsidized child care, according to a new report. The Georgia Budget and Policy Institute says by 2010 the state will hit a five-year low in how many children are in subsidized childcare slots. That's just under 54,000 a month. Georgia's main programs are Child Care and Parent Services (CAPS), Georgia Pre-K, and Head Start/Early Head Start.
