 
CHILD CARE RESOURCE & REFERRAL
SNCS provides child care resource and referral services to all families throughout Sierra and Nevada counties. We believe that choosing child care starts with asking the right questions, so as part of our Child Care Resource & Referral we offer technical assistance for parents, which includes child care referrals, child development information, education on quality child care, the Parent Newsletter, parenting classes, and support groups.
Beginning in Fall 2010, SNCS combined the Parent Newsletter with Provider Notes for a new bi-monthly publication - Full Circle.
CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
SNCS administers various programs (California Alternative Payment Program, CalWORKs and California Family Child Care Homes Education “Network” (FCCHEN) that are funded by federal, state and local governments to help income eligible families pay for a part or all of their child care costs. Families may also pay a share of cost on a sliding scale based on income and family size. Parents may choose from child care options such as Family Child Care Homes and Child Care Centers, TrustLine Child Care Providers or Relative Care Child Care Providers. A child is eligible for these programs until his/her 13th birthday.

“Sierra Nevada Children’s Services (SNCS) has allowed us to provide exceptional, quality child care for our children that we would not otherwise be able to afford.
Consequently, we are allowed the freedom to be contributing members of society and positive role models to our children. We are able to work away from home and have both been able to return to college so that we may provide a future for our family that may otherwise have been bleak.
With the help of the caring workers at SNCS and through the child care subsidy assistance, we are able to know hope, freedom and peace of mind.
We are thankful everyday that we have been fortunate enough to have been blessed with the presence of this program in our lives.”
Jason S. and Danielle G.
