To whom it may concern: I am trying to begin some research on local businesses that provide on-site day care services. Can you suggest of any resources or references that could provide some information? Thank you. Brigitte

Thanks for your note. As for your query about workplace based child-care facilities, I suggest you contact the following as a start:

• The Child-Care Directory
• The National Association for the Education of Young Children
• The National Child Care Association
• National Child Care Information Center

You might also check out our Parenting Links. I hope this helps -- and I wish this were the norm rather than the exception - Amy
