Child Care Resource and Referral

The CCRR supports the needs of children, families and child care providers through referrals and access to quality child care programs, resources and training.

The CCRR program is a provincial-wide initiative to enhance the availability and quality of a range of child care options. 

The CCRR program is a point of reference for parents, care providers and communities seeking information, resources, support, training and referral services that ensure that children have access to high quality child care.

There are 38 Child Care Resource and Referral Programs (CCRR) in the province of BC. To achieve consistent and efficient delivery of services, coordination of these programs has been organized into 5 regions. Regional coordination provides broad support, training and networking opportunities for all CCRR staff. Regional services connect provincial, regional, local agencies and CCRR programs.
