Georgia Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies


Child Care Providers

The GACCRRA Network Office supports its member agencies in their committment to assisting providers in offering high quality child care for Georgia's children. Because they are community-based, they are able to meet the needs of each unique community.

Training: CCR&R’s offer state approved/accepted training for parents, providers and foster parents to assist them in meeting the needsof the children in their care.

Technical Assistance (TA): Assistance is available to current and potential providers looking to improve the quality of care being provided, open a new child care program, or seek some form of credential or accreditation.

Lending Library/Resource Room: Each CCR&R offers educational resources, toys, and materials for providers and parents. These materials are available to borrow for use with children of all ages and abilities.

Public Awareness : Statewide and local efforts take place within each CCR&R to increase the knowledge of children's needs and to support affordable, accessible, quality child care.

Inclusion Services: Technical assistance and support is offered to include children with special needs into typically developing settings.

Quality Improvement Project: Each CCR&R offers quality improvement funds and technical assistance to family and group child care providers through a competitive grant process.
