Child care providers and caregivers play a critical role during the early years of a child’s development, and 4Cs wants to help you strengthen that foundation.

We’re here to support you in your work as a caregiver, to help you meet your program goals, and guide you through quality improvement opportunities.

Becoming a Subsidy Provider

To become a subsidy provider, a child care provider must be requested by a parent in our subsidy program. A family who receives child care subsidies through 4Cs can use the voucher at any child care provider of their choice, as long as they are licensed or legally licensed exempt.

Training and Consultation

4Cs offers current and potential child care providers and early educators in San Mateo County an array of information, consultation, and training services in the areas of child care and development and early childhood education, including the Quality Counts program.

Our staff connects early care and education providers with training, workshops, and resources on how to start, maintain, and raise quality in their child care business.
