About the North Carolina Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) System
Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) programs have provided essential services in North Carolina for more than 50 years. The North Carolina CCR&R Council has organized the CCR&R system into 14 regional lead agencies and 62 local agencies to provide consistency to these essential services across the state for more than 20 years.
To partner with the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) and the 14 CCR&R regions to support a strong child care resource and referral statewide system by:
- providing high quality CCR&R services across the state
- ensuring that families, child care providers and communities have access to high quality CCR&R services
This will, in turn, ensure that high quality early childhood education programs with highly competent teachers are available for children and their families.
North Carolina’s CCR&R system will be nationally recognized as an essential and highly effective statewide deliverer of research-based and data-driven services that enable families, practitioners and communities to recognize, support and access high quality, affordable, child and family-centered early care and education and school-age child care services.
