Child Care Resource and Referral Services (CCR&R)

The Early Learning Coalition of Northwest Florida provides Child Care Resource & Referral services that offer families a FREE customized list of child care providers based on their priorities. In addition, families receive explanations of quality early learning and its benefits and information about other community resources.

Providers are asked to complete a Child Care Resource & Referral Update Form so their information is included in the Child Care Resource & Referral system. The information submitted by providers is used to generate referrals for families by matching family needs with providers who meet those needs. It is critical that providers contact the ELC to update their Child Care Resource & Referral information any time there is a change to their program in order to ensure families are being given the most accurate information.

Providers can download the Florida Child Care Resource & Referral Provider Update Form and complete the requested infomation.

Please Note:

“There are no charges/fees associated with a provider listing in the Child Care Resource & Referral Database or for referrals to your program. If you are asked to provide a payment for a referral or listing in the Child Care Resource & Referral database, please call the Agency for Workforce Innovation’s Office of Early Learning at 1-866-357-3239. The information reported about a provider’s program is objective program information that is based on standards that are attainable for providers based on their type of care.”
