What is Child Care Resource & Referral? Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR) is a free service to all parents regardless of income that acts as a bridge between parents needing child care and the child care programs that will best meet the needs of the family.
We believe parents should have choices and in giving parent’s the tools to make an informed decision. Therefore, we are experts in quality care in all kinds of settings from family child care homes to center based care and will gladly help parents know what quality care means.
