Running a licensed family child care home or center in a residence means working as a small business owner, child care administrator, and early childhood teacher — all at the same time, often on your own.
At CCRI, we understand how challenging it can be to leave your business even for a few hours to attend training or connect with other family child care providers. That's why we offer special services just for family child care educators!

Training
In-person and online, scheduled and On Demand courses on a variety of topics

Coaching
On-site or virtual one-on-one coaching to help you achieve your goals

Networking
Community-based peer networks for sharing ideas and professional development
Training
