CCRR RESOURCES

WHAT IS CCRR?

REFERRAL SERVICE

CCRR is a program that supports families and Child Care Providers. CCRR helps families find quality Child Care that suits their individual needs. Finding the right Child Care option can be a tedious and worrisome task. We assist parents in their search by answering questions and giving them information about what they can look for in a quality Child Care facility or home. CCRR helps clients start their own Family Child Care business through training and support services.

The Child Care Resource and Referral provides referral service for families looking for child care. Families are provided with a choice of Registered ‘Licensed Not Required’ and a variety of ‘Licensed’ Child Care options. The referral service will provide names and phone numbers of child care providers located in the area of town preferred by the family. Child care programs that are members of the Child Care Resource and Referral program benefit from year-round advertisement.

TOY LENDING AND RESOURCE LIBRARY

kamloopsy.org

The CCRR’s Toy Lending and Resource Library is a valuable resource for parents, child care, and education workers, child development support workers, therapists, teachers, informal caregivers and recreational programmers. There is a large variety of materials that will support children’s social, emotional, physical, language and cognitive development. There are children’s books that cover a wide range of subjects and resources for adults. Resources include everything from parenting books, child development texts, specialized topics, and thematic resource books to name a few. It’s FREE!

CCRR HELPING PARENTS: • Looking for Child Care • With subsidy applications • With toy lending library/resources • With training and workshops

• Wanting to start a childcare business in their home • With information on healthy child development

CCRR HELPING CAREGIVERS WITH: • Training and Workshops • Toy lending library • Consultation • Special Events

• Resource library • Referrals • Networking with other Caregivers • Information about grants and subsidies

Children in high-quality early childhood programs have been found to form closer and more secure attachments with care providers, show more positive interactions with peers, have larger vocabularies, and have better prereading and pre-math skills. Looking for childcare can be stressful; CCRR can provide families with a list of potential care providers, resources for parents to become familiar with the different child care choices and advice about choosing quality childcare.

This equipment will provide your children with hours of fun and healthy physical development. Check out our Library for more great toys. • We reserve the right to change schedules. • Fees subject to applicable taxes.

effective December 2013

Child Care Resource & Referral

A strong predictor of high quality care is caregiver training and belonging to a supportive network. Networking with others who have similar care goals will have a greater, more positive impact than if you work in isolation. The CCRR provides many opportunities for networking, professional development and training. For more information or to register please contact us at 250-372-7791 or email: kamloopsccrr@shawlink.ca.
