What Can CIS Do For You?
CIS services are available to support:

- Finding quality child care that supports your child’s and family’s goals and needs.
- The positive social and emotional development of your child – up to age 6.
How Services Are Delivered
- A regional team made up of local professionals (e.g., nurses, early interventionists & child development specialists) will support you in identifying what services you need and help you access them — at low or no cost.
- Your plan for services (also referred to as a One Plan) will be documented and shared with any local professionals who work with you.
- Services are coordinated and provided in a location comfortable to you (e.g., your home, child care, preschool, or afterschool program, etc.)
- No matter the services you receive during your journey with CIS, you'll have only one main point of contact at any given time.
