Finding Child Care is Simple with CCRC
As the school year begins, you may be searching for after-school child care. Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) (formerly known as Work Family Resource Center) is your local, non-profit child care resource and referral agency. Serving our community for 27 years and home of the largest database of child care programs in the region, CCRC offers a combination of free and fee-based services (including a nanny search service!) to suit the needs of all families.
Whether you need full-time care for your newborn, a half-day preschool program that will help your child develop the social and school readiness skills to begin a successful school career, after-school care, or a summer camp for your school-age child, talking with one of CCRC’s Parent Specialists can help you in your search for a child care arrangement that best fits your child and your family’s needs.
