For Families

 

Virginia Child Care is made up of 15 local child care resource and referral (CCR&R) agencies that assist families in finding child care throughout Virginia.  Our agencies support families in many ways: 

  • Parents get referrals to child care providers in their area.
  • Families talk to experts who help them decide what type of child care is best for their child.
  • Families learn what quality child care means and how to find it.
  • Families are taught about child development, learning to understand how children act and grow.
  • Families talk with experts about parenting issues.
  • Families learn to educate themselves and advocate for (support) children’s issues and public policies at a local, state and national level. 
 
Virginia Child Care understands the importance of quality early childhood experiences and provides resources to help families educate themselves so they can support their children’s special needs.
