How to Choose Quality Child Care
The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services offers a checklist of the questions you should ask when evaluating a childcare provider.
Licensed Child Care & Pre-Schools in Nebraska
This is a list - more than 400 pages long - of licensed child care and pre-school programs in the State of Nebraska.  It is maintained by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.  The list is sorted by zip code, enabling you to find nearby providers.  Each entry shows contact information, hours of operation, capacity, ages of children served, when the provider was licensed and other details.
Checking Up on Your Child Care Provider
Nebraska law requires any individual who provides child care to four or more children from different families at any one time to become licensed.  This section of the Nebraska Health and Human Services website enables you to verify that your provider is licensed and also shows any official disciplinary actions taken against the provider. To find this information, look at the drop-down menu next to "Professions."  Select "Early Childhood."  Enter the name of your provider or the name of the entity providing care and press "Search Licenses" at the bottom of the page.  (You may also search by "Owner Name," but this often returns no results.)
Iowa Child Care Resource and Referral Services
The Iowa Department of Human Services provides a list of regulated child care providers in the state of Iowa along with contact info.
