Cloud County Community College Early Childhood Resource
and Referral Agency is a full service, non-profit agency designed to help Early
Childhood Professionals and parents. We assist Early Childhood
Professionals, in Family Child Care Homes and Child Care Centers, reach their
full potential in providing high quality Early Learning Opportunities. Parents
are assisted in finding quality day care for their children.
- Child care professionals:
Our extensive library of videos, books, brochures and other resources is
available to assist in research, lesson planning, child interactions, and
parent support. As part of a 7 agency statewide network known as
KACCRRA, we have our thumb on the pulse of breaking research in Child
Development and Education and access to the latest teaching technologies and
information. We offer classes to Child Care Professionals on various
Child Care and business subjects.
- Parents:
Although the local offices don't do referrals for parents,
centralized professional referral counselors are available to guide parents through the process of searching
for a high quality Early Childhood Professional to care for their children
while they are working or attending school. With this assistance, parents learn what to look for in a child care setting and are given
available options in their community. Families are also referred to
community resources for further assistance for needs identified (such as
child care subsidies). The number for parents to call (toll free) is:
1-877-678-2548
Our trained staff is available on campus and in 18
additional counties in North Central Kansas to provide professionals, students,
parents, and the community with the support and education they need to give
children the best start possible.
