Your partnership with LWC Child Care and Family Resources is a shared, educational opportunity to discuss thoughtful issues and responsive strategies for assessing, selecting, and managing child care. The purpose of this guideline is to expand your understanding of various terms and types related to child care.  To request a telephone or in-person appointment, call 621-9870 or email us. We also offer child and elder care support to employee and student grandparents (or other relatives) and those caring for multiple generations.
