Harbor Regional Center provides a variety of client and family support services. 

Child Care
Child care is care and supervision for pre-school and school-aged children up to age 12 who require such supervision because of their age or disability and whose parents are engaged in full-time work or vocational training.  This service includes both day care for pre-schoolers and after school care for school age children. 

The regional center assumes that families are responsible for child care to the extent that the cost of such care is the same as that for a typical child.  However, the regional center may be able to support and assist families when additional staff or other special accommodations are required in a child care setting, in order to deal with the exceptional needs of the child. Typically, this would include the extra support required because of the child's need for a caretaker who has special knowledge or training related to medical equipment, extreme behavioral challenges, or self-help requirements beyond those typical of a child the same age.

Harbor Regional Center can also assist eligible families in applying for public benefits such as year-round school, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), and Medi-Cal.
