According to a news release, the centralized platform will use OneHSN software to simplify and facilitate ways families can find and apply for licensed child-care services throughout the region.

The county says the service will allow users to manage multiple applications for multiple licensed programs and allow families to explore licensed child-care options. There will also be information on financial and special needs support.

It says the platform will have enhanced security to ensure all personal information remains confidential.
