IMPORTANT WALK-IN UPDATE

All CCAP visitors must show a Photo I.D. to the security officer to receive any Walk-In service, including Walk-In Express and Forms pick-up. 
Any visitor without a Photo I.D. or unwilling to comply will be refused Walk-In Service.

Things to know:

• All visitors must sign in at the security desk.
• All visitors must show Photo ID.
  • All State, Military, Government Issued Identifications are accepted. Student photo identification is accepted as well.
  • Clear photo copies of these IDs are accepted.
• You must have a scheduled appointment to receive a consultation.
  • Visitors without a scheduled appointment will not be serviced.
• Phone appointments are on Wednesdays only.
• Appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes. Childcare providers can schedule back-to-back 30-minute appointments, if needed.
• Visitors can receive and drop off CCAP forms without an appointment.
• Please arrive on time for your consultation appointment.
  • If you arrive late, we cannot extend your consultation past your scheduled appointment time. You may have to schedule a new appointment.
• Late arrivals of 15 minutes or more run the risk of losing their appointments. We may not be able to accommodate late arrivals as it may affect other customers that have appointments that day.
• Providers should avoid booking more than 2 appointments at a time. When multiple appointments are made and not utilized, it takes an available time slot away from a customer.

If more than 2 appointments are made, we may cancel the additional appointments to accommodate the needs of our other customers.
