For 50 years, Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) has been connecting parents to child care providers, strengthening families, and helping our communities thrive. Hear firsthand from families the challenges they have faced, the resources they received through CCRC, and how their lives have been improved.
Child Care Financial Assistance
American families who need help finding and paying for child care are helped by CCRC.
"As a result of subsidized child care, a CCRC single father of three children (a 7-year-old and 9-year old twins) has been able to keep his job with Foundation Administrative Services, Inc making $1,845/month while also attending training at Summit College studying to become a welder." -Single Parent with three children
Economic Struggles & Food Insecurity
American families cope with economic struggles by utilizing various resources, including government assistance programs like SNAP and WIC, seeking help from food banks and pantries, and accessing community support networks.
"Receiving CCRC has been a tremendous help in allowing me to return to work and provide for my family. It has enabled me to afford basic necessities like groceries and rent, and to stay financially stable." -Single Parent with two children from Granada Hills, CA
Head Start
Head Start helps American families make it work by providing a comprehensive program to support children and families promoting school readiness, long-term educational success, and overall family well-being.
"From the meals to the quality of care, to the workshops, to the trauma informed trainings, I don't think we would be able to find the same thing if I were to go elsewhere, or if Head Start wasn't around. I would also struggle with balancing work and school and child care. It would directly impact my ability to provide financially and emotionally for my kids." -Single Parent with two children from Los Angeles, CA
Health Insurance
American families access health insurance through a combination of private and public sources.
"We were struggling financially and had nobody to watch our daughter. If it wasn't for this program there would be no way I could afford $350/week for child care on top of our rent and bills. It would be impossible for me to have my job at Lowe's. I also provide my daughter's dental and medical health insurance from my job so this program has really made a HUGE impact on my family's lives." -Two Parent Household with one child from Fontana, CA
