stability, and school readiness.
A Resource for Families Seeking Child Care
CCR helps families in challenging situations find
answers to child care questions. Parents who work evenings or weekends,
children with special needs, families struggling to manage the cost of
care and homeless families can all find personalized and in-depth
information, referrals and help here on this website and by calling our
office at the contact information at the bottom of this page.
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.

All Kids Are Our Kids

Thanks to a generous community of child care
providers, partners, corporations, businesses, foundations, table
captains and many caring individuals, our annual luncheon on November
1st raised $258,000 for Child Care Resources programs so we can better
achieve our vision in giving every child a great start in school and in
life. Click here to view photos of "All Kids are Our Kids" luncheon. And
we look forward to seeing you next year!
New CCR Video!
Whether a child is in a home based family child care program, a child
care center, or an informal Play and Learn group, there is a common
denominator to quality of care. That common denominator lies in the
relationship between the provider and the children, in the things
providers do to nurture the children and strengthen their social
emotional development.
As you know, children that are emotionally and socially able to get
along with other children, pay attention to the adults in their lives,
and understand and regulate their emotions, are best prepared to succeed
in school and in life.
What Quality Child Care Is… shows how quality care looks different
in different settings. We hope you enjoy this video, and want to share
it with others. The goal is to raise awareness of and support for
quality early learning experiences for children.

CCR's New Video, What Quality Child Care Is...
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.
