Child Care Resource and Referral providers help families. As a child care provider, you see child and families every day and can recognize when a child or family has a need. Your local early learning coalition offers the Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) program. CCR&R is dedicated to helping families connect with services and resources to meet their needs.
CCR&R benefits all providers and they’re not required to participate in School Readiness and/or Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten to receive the benefits. The CCR&R network maintains the only comprehensive, statewide database of child care, school readiness, and school-age programs and service providers. Contact your local early learning coalition for more information.
