Our Providers

These are the licensed child care providers who are members of our association. You can contact each provider directly via the contact information in their listing. You may also contact our Referral Specialist & General Information line for personal assistance at (405) 341-1588.

WP Table Builder

This listing is to provide parents with childcare referrals only. We do not recommend any childcare program over another. All referrals are based on information received directly from the childcare providers themselves. A Better Choice for Childcare does not guarantee the accuracy of this information, nor the quality of the childcare program, and has not inspected or warranted the condition of the provider’s facility or the quality of supervision the children receive.

It is your responsibility as a parent/guardian to visit each childcare provider and choose a program which meets the needs of your child(ren) and family.

The Oklahoma Department of Human Services is responsible for issuing licenses to child care providers as well as monitoring programs for licensing compliance. Families may have access to each program’s monitoring and licensing compliance reports by contacting the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (Licensing (405) 521-2152) or by visiting their website at http://childcarefind.okdhs.org/childcarefind/
