The Child Care Resource Center is a private non-profit agency created in 1988 as an initiative of the Nord Family Foundation. The Child Care Resource Center was developed to have a countywide impact on early childhood education. The agency's need in the community derived from local and national research, which indicated a direct correlation between deprivation in quality early childhood experiences and the social problems of teenagers. The Child Care Resource Center was created to increase quality childcare services available to all families. It would elevate the overall quality of early childhood education in Lorain County by offering training and support to childcare providers. In 1993 the Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) became part of Ohio's Child Care Resource and Referral Network with a service delivery area of Lorain, Erie, Huron, Sandusky and Seneca counties (SDA 2). The CCRC now acts as a resource for families and providers in all issues concerning early care and education. MISSION STATEMENT The Child Care Resource Center is dedicated to the well being of children through a quality child care delivery system. To accomplish this mission, the CCRC will actively: • Help families find child care • Recruit, train and support caregivers • Provide startup information for child care programs • Collect data for community planning • Advocate and support laws and programs that make quality child care affordable and accessible.
