Over 60% of the 20 million U.S. children under age 5 are in some kind of child care arrangement. This allows parents to work. In Iowa

• 84% of single parent families and
• 74% of two-parent families have all parents employed.

Quality child care is essential for any community’s long-term success.

Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) is a nationwide network of community-based agencies that brings parents, child care providers and employers together. CCR&R connects parents in need of child care and local providers.  Our referrals are free and confidential.

CCR&R assists early care and education providers through assistance in:

·        Registration,

·        Licensing,

·        Applying for the Iowa Quality Rating System,

·        Professional growth, and

·        Free referrals to parents.

CCR&R serves as an information resource about child care concerns for any one in the community. 

CCR&R is not a regulatory agency. We are committed to informing, enriching and supporting the people living within Benton, Iowa, Jackson, Jones and Linn Counties.

4Cs Community Coordinated Child Care Resource & Referral promotes the well-being of children in Johnson and Washington Counties by assisting families, child care providers, employers and others with their child care needs. They address challenges to the community's child care system and serve as a resource for the development of new programs. http://www.iowa4cs.com/
