Parent Education

Through its Parent Education program, Child Care Resources educates parents concerning the availability and need for quality child care services, provides information to help parents make informed child care decisions, and increases awareness of child care issues for parents, providers and the community.

Parent Education services include:Mother-in-College-with-Child

  • Presentations to parent groups
  • Distribution of child care related printed materials at community events that are targeted to parents of young children
  • Promoting community and consumer awareness of health and safety issues related to child care
  • Posting of current child care issues on our website
  • Links to other relevant websites containing information that would be helpful to parents
  • Collaboration with county and state organizations in identifying parent issues/needs
