 Center for Inclusive Child Care
The Center for Inclusive Child Care (CICC) offers free Consultation Services to child care providers and all other early childhood and school age professionals in Minnesota.

The goal of the CICC’s Consultation Services is to provide support to child care and school age care providers, enabling them to successfully include and retain children with special needs and those with challenging behaviors in their programs.

The CICC’s Consultation Services offers:
  • consultation to child care and school age providers
  • referral support in finding care or determining best placement options
  • resources for staff development and education
If you would like to speak to a CICC Consultant, contact Dea Anderson by emailing dea@fraser.org or call (612) 998-0409.
