Programs
The Early Care & Learning Council has a range of programs to aid in the development of high quality early care and education for New York State including support for its 39-member CCR&R Network. CCR&Rs are an invaluable link between families, child care providers and communities. CCR&Rs educate families about high-quality care and help them find it; support low-income families to access the financial resources for child care, recruit and train new child care providers; offer providers technical assistance; and encourage government, business leaders and the public to support the expansion of high-quality services.
