Providers

The member agencies of GACCRRA are committed to assisting providers in offering high quality child care for the children of Georgia.  Because we are community-based, we 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 needs of 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.
  • Advocacy:  Statewide and local advocacy efforts take place within each CCR&R 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.
