What is the NHCIS Program Profile?

The program profile page is used to share information on the public facing child care search. Families searching for child care use this site to find child care that meets their family’s needs. In addition your child care profile information is used when Child Care Aware is working with families seeking child care. The more accurate and up to date this information is the more likely the best matches will be made for families. It is important to review this information often. 

How Do I Access my Program Profile?
