A Partner to Child Care Providers to Improve Quality

Child Care Resources offers providers training, technical assistance, supplies and mentorship to increase the quality of care. From Shoreline to Auburn, CCR’s mobile resources library is on the road visiting child care sites to share books, videos, free materials and staff expertise. In addition, CCR trains low-income women transitioning from welfare to work to start home-based child care businesses or begin a career as a teacher in a child care program. Read more..

KING 5 TV - Quality Child Care

See KING 5 TV's report on the characteristics of quality child care. You'll see an interview with CEO Nina Auerbach as she gives the Top 5 List for choosing quality child care. 

It can be one of the hardest decisions a parent has to make: Who will watch my child while I'm at work? KING 5's Carolyn Douglas shows us what to look for when choosing a childcare facility for your little one.      KING 5 Link...

Every Child Deserves a Great Start

At least 125,000 children in King County spend time in child care every week, but much of that care is not as good as it should be.  Surveys by state education officials show that 55 percent of children entering Washington's kindergarten classes are not completely ready to enter school.  Among low-income children, the percentage is even higher.  Not only are too many youngsters unprepared for school, but thousands of families in King County struggle to find affordable, quality child care.  High-quality early learning programs set the foundation for children to learn the skills thy need to succeed in school.
