Child Care Resource and Referral: Assisting You in Your Search for Quality Child Care
Come to Us for Answers
Will the child care you choose have a positive impact on the development of your child? Will it help your child find success in school and in life? How can you evaluate a program to know for sure?
We help our families find child care that is easily accessible, educational, safe, and affordable through Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) - a free service offered to you by the Office of Early Learning. Contact us.
We’re on Your Side
CCR&R is dedicated to helping you locate a provider that meets your needs. You can rest assured that you will be provided the most up-to-date, accurate information about child care available. ECS CCR&R is recognized as a Quality Assured Program through the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA).
Call us today to talk with one of our experienced child care professionals. At ECS, we customize our referrals according to your needs. Options are based on your preferences for location, type of program, services needed, and price range. Our referrals are not to be taken as recommendations, but we’ll give you the quality indicators that will help you determine how to make an informed choice that’s right for your family.
We will also provide you with financial options, including subsidies, and information on tax credits for working families with children in care programs.
