Running a family child care home means working as a small business owner, child care administrator, and early childhood teacher – all at the same time, often without anyone to step in and take the wheel. 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 created Family Child Care Networks powered by CCRI – four community-based networks (Beatties Ford Road, Westside, Hidden Valley, and Triangle East) that serve as a hub for you to network with your professional peers, share ideas, and receive training that would otherwise be inconvenient or impossible for you to attend.

Serving as the director of a child care center means responding to competing needs and demands on your time as you manage the many responsibilities of running a quality program – maintaining compliance with licensing requirements, nurturing children, supporting families, and developing your staff. No wonder you feel like there’s no time for you!

Directors Leadership Network powered by CCRI is a way for CCRI to support you as you support one another. As one member stated, “Directors Leadership Network is my opportunity for professional self-care.” If you are looking for a warm and friendly forum to ask questions, share ideas, relieve stress, and receive and offer support among your professional peers, then Directors Leadership Network powered by CCRI is the place for you!
