Connecting Families to Quality Licensed Child Care
The Child Care Resources (CCR) Program at Seven Hills provides resource and referral services to assist families in locating affordable, quality child care programs & to:
- Ensure families have access to high-quality information, resources and referrals to meet their child care needs
- Educate families on the cost, quality and availability of early education and out-of-school-time care
- Promote provider development and support, with ongoing access to training and technical assistance
By adopting the Brain Building in Progress approach, and building upon the Strengthening Families Framework, the Seven Hills CCR Program works in partnership with Coordinated Family Community Engagement Programs and the Educator and Provider Support System to promote quality of care and to help the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) fulfill its mission.
