Become a Childcare Provider
There is a critical need for expanded child care options across Onondaga and Cayuga Counties. You can help strengthen our community and build a rewarding career by launching your own child care business.
Since New York State requires official licensing or registration for programs serving three or more children, Child Care Solutions is here to simplify that process for you. Our expert team provides the free guidance, resources, and professional development you need to meet state standards and open your doors with confidence.
Whether you are in Syracuse, Auburn, or the surrounding CNY area, we are your partner in becoming a successful early childhood care provider.
