Child Care Resource and Referral

Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR) service providers make it easier for families to find and access responsive and inclusive quality licensed and registered child care by providing information, support, resources and referral services to families across the province.

The Ministry of Education and Child Care provides funding to CCRR service providers, which work in partnership with the Province to improve the access to affordable, quality and inclusive child care in all B.C. communities.
