Starting Point Special Needs Child Care is a program that helps child care providers to care for children with medical needs. CCBH nurses work together with the providers, offering the training they need to properly care for each child in the program.

The nurse can help with:

  • Illnesses or Disorders
  • Medical conditions (Asthma, Allergies, Seizures)
  • Feeding problems
  • Medication and side effects
  • Injuries
  • Care after Surgery
  • Medical paperwork


If you are a PARENT, the nurse will:

  • Meet with you and help you make plans to care for your child
  • Help you get the forms you need signed by your child’s doctor
  • Teach the person who cares for your child about his/her illness and any medicine that need to be given


If you are a CHILD CARE PROVIDER, the nurse can:

  • Help you with the paperwork needed for children with medical conditions
  • Train you and your staff about the needs of the child and how to give them medication or treatment.
  • Loan you medical tools and supplies such as a breathing machine or feeding pump to be used by children enrolled in the program
