Unconditional Child Care Program: Unconditional Child Care works with parents and child care providers to provide support and intervention for young children whose behavior in child care is difficult to manage. Services and resources are brought to the child care program and to the family to help the child succeed in child care. Unconditional Child Care will provide services for children who attend child care in Lehigh and Northampton Counties and whose parents reside in Lehigh, Northampton, Carbon, and Monroe Counties. Parents who are using child care because of employment or enrollment in school are eligible for services. There is no cost to families or child care providers for UCC services. Referrals to Unconditional Child Care may be made by parents, providers, or others involved with the child by calling 610-432-3919. For more information or to request services, please contact: 610-910-8435 or sfeller@pbfalv.org.
