Resources And Referral Listings
Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) are local non-profit agencies that assist parents in locating child care and help family child care providers with licensing, fingerprinting, and other issues. Many R&Rs are also Alternative payment programs, which means they provide child care subsidies for low income families. Services provided may vary from agency to agency. R&Rs will also refer families seeking child care to you once you become licensed if you so choose.
