Mission and History
Who We Are
Child Care Resources Inc. was founded in 1982 to advance opportunity for working families and their children, and to help create, sustain, and improve a system of quality early care and education for all who rely on it.
What We Do
We work to increase access to the kinds of early learning experiences that promote children's success in school and in life, serving Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Union, Rowan, and Stanly counties in North Carolina.
Who We Serve
Our priority has always been to serve those who are most vulnerable. In Charlotte and across North Carolina, those who are most vulnerable are disproportionately low-income women, children, and families.
Why It Matters
When it comes to early learning, the first five years of a child's life matter most.
Young children learn best when they have consistent, nurturing relationships with adults who care, whether at home or away from home — and most children under 6 live in homes where all parents present work. With quality child care, parents can go to work with peace of mind – knowing their children are being well cared for, learning, and growing every day – and children have the kinds of early learning opportunities that help prepare them to succeed in school.
But child care is costly, particularly for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. In fact, child care tuition is higher than tuition at our state's public colleges and universities. Still, child care tuition and fees barely generate enough revenue for program operators to recruit and retain the staff necessary to achieve and sustain high quality.
Families and child care programs need help to make child care work better. Child Care Resources Inc. provides this help
