Child Care Resource and Referral

Our CCR&R staff is here to help find high-quality early education opportunities that meet each family’s unique needs. Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) is a FREE community service that offers information and referral services to all families that are looking to find care for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, before and after care for school-age children and summer camp information in Pinellas County.

Trained staff will answer questions about choosing the best early learning programs and provide parents with a list of child care provider listings that is customized to their specific preferences. Some of these specifications include the age of the child, location preference for care, type of care such as Centers, Family Child Care Homes, or School Age Care, also whether the site has a pool, non-smoking conditions, pets, program and curriculum desires, etc.

Families then receive information about child development and developmentally appropriate practices. In addition, parents receive referrals and information about other services available in the community.

Please take a moment to fill out the questionnaire below and a staff member will contact you with information and next steps.
