How do I know if my day care provider qualifies as a Step 4 Child Care Program?

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) rates child care providers on a scale of 1 to 4 with 4 being the highest certification. You can use the Maine Licensed Child Care Search tool to find your providers rating, or call DHHS at (207) 624-7909.

Note: This tool does not provide certificate number information. If you need the four digit Step 4 certificate number you will need to contact your child care provider or call DHHS.
