Announcements

Tax Information for Providers
If you were unable to attend the tax workshop which took place on Saturday, January 12th at the Del Norte Child Care Council, we have made extra copies of the information shared by Accountant Eileen Capaccio.
Just let us know and we will have extra copies available. This includes tax law changes in the child care field and forms that might make keeping track of time and space percentages, home depreciation, and business hours much easier. Please call 464-8311 ext. 16 and we will make sure you get your copy.
