Child Care Referrals

The Conejo Valley Day Care Association is a group of dedicated state licensed home based child care providers.  The CVDCA Referral Network is provided for parents seeking licensed child care. The CVDCA does not license, recommend, or endorse any of its members. The CVDCA can not insure the accuracy of provider information or the quality of any childcare provider referred in this process.  It is your right and responsibility to check a provider’s references and seek as much information as you can in order to choose childcare that meets your family’s needs. 

Note: California State Law requires any licensed childcare facility to make accessible to the public a copy of their license and any report that documents a facility visit. In addition you may contact the Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division at (805) 562-0400 to obtain complete information on any licensed child care facility.
