This work is more than a job. It’s a calling. But it can also be exhausting, overwhelming, and, at times, isolating. That’s why having Child Care Aware of Kansas beside me has made all the difference. I can confidently say I wouldn’t be where I am today without their support.
Licensed child care providers in Kansas are regulated by the state. They must pass regular inspections, meet health and safety requirements, and maintain background checks for all staff. Unlicensed care is not subject to these requirements. When you search through CCAKS, every provider on our list is licensed by the state.
Quality care means children are safe, engaged, and supported by caregivers who are trained and attentive. Look for providers who are working toward continuous improvement — through training, professional development, and programs like Links to Quality. You don't have to figure this out alone. Our Resource Specialists can help you evaluate your options.
Eligibility for child care assistance is based on household income, family size, and whether you are working, in school, or in a job training program. The best way to find out is to call our Resource Center at 877-678-2548. We'll walk you through the options at no cost to you.
