PATCH

PATCH is Hawaii's statewide child care resource and referral agency.  PATCH helps parents take the guesswork out of choosing child care with referrals to local child care providers, information about state licensing requirements, availability of child care subsidies, and other important child care information.  PATCH can also help you become a family child care provider.  If you love working with young children and want to put your creative, nurturing and organizational skills to work- consider becoming a family child care provider.
