Child Care arrangements as described by Annette Kornell, UW Family Child Care Network Coordinator:

I can certainly provide you with a list of Madison-area childcare providers.  It should be fairly likely that one of them would have an opening.  Please provide me with a regular mailing address and I'll get our list out to you.  It would be helpful to know some additional information to better assist you: 
What is the age of the child/children?
What area of the city would be acceptable -- does it need to be
downtown, or would East or West work?  (moving away from downtown will greatly increase the chance of finding someone).
What are the dates/times that care is needed?
Thank you.
