About Child Care Resource & Referral Services (CCR&Rs)
Ensuring the availability of high-quality care in Minnesota is a matter of education. The Child Care Resource & Referral community throughout Minnesota works to educate parents about their child care options, offers professional development and grant opportunities to child care providers and strives to inform the community at large regarding child caring issues.
CCR&R is a trusted resource for parents
In 2010 CCR&R:
- Helped 26,937 parents seeking child care referrals and information on quality care.
- Served 722 parents searching for child care information in Hmong, Spanish or Somali.
- Counseled 3,561 parents facing layoffs or financial hardships and looking for child care referrals and information on quality care.
“I was overwhelmed by the thought of making this important decision on my own. After talking for a long time with the CCR&R counselor, I have some guidelines to use in making our choice and a better understanding of what to expect.”
–Minnesota Parent
CCR&R is an important partner in providing care
In 2010 CCR&R:
- Sponsored or cosponsored 2,237 classes and conferences for 35,480 child care professionals.
- Grants totaling $1.4 million helped 2,200 child care providers improve their programs and keep their businesses viable.
CCR&R is an essential community partner and information source
- In 2010, 5,717 Family, Friend and Neighbor caregivers received education and/or grant dollars through their local Child Care Resource & Referral agency. Family, Friend and Neighbor caregivers provide legal, unlicensed care for children who are a part of their extended family, neighborhood or circle of friends.
- CCR&R staffers created and sustained critical community
relationships across the state. Our goal is to partner with
other organizations to reach out to those in need of
child care/early learning information and ensure that child care issues are among those addressed by Minnesota communities.
The Minnesota Child Care Resource and Referral Network is a member of the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies and is funded in part by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. |
