Child Care Resources offers various services which include free referrals to  licensed child care centers and preschools, registered family child care homes, summer camps, and before/after– school programs.

We also counsel families on making informed choices for child care. In addition we administer financial assistance to assist with child care cost for eligible working families and students. We offer parent education classes and workshops on nutrition and health, support groups for parents with special needs children and child development.

We have a lending library, educational workshops and trainings are offered to all early childhood professionals. We also register and offer trainings to family child care providers.
