The Local Directory has been designed to help parents and caregivers locate appropriate services for their children birth to three years old and their families. A kind of 'mini phone book', this directory is useful when families are worried about the healthy development of their child or want support in meeting the special needs of their child. Families who are concerned about their child's development because of medical or other reasons will find many resources for needed services. This directory is specifically designed for Alpine, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo counties.

If you feel that your child or family might benefit from any of the services contained in this directory, please contact those agencies that offer the kinds of assistance you or your child may need. Many health or developmental problems can be prevented or helped if you receive the right services as soon as possible. If you do not see the information you need, please call  WarmLine at 916-922-9276/800-660-7995 in Sacramento or at 916-782-7147 in Placer County.
