WHAT WE DO
CCRC was founded 43 years ago to help parents find child care in the San Fernando Valley. Flash forward four decades and that staff of six has grown to 1000 strong. We work across Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties and, increasingly, across the state, to cultivate child, family and community well-being. In any given month, we provide support to 50,000 parents, children, and child care providers.
CCRC takes a systems level approach to strengthening families and communities. Drawing on Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, CCRC recognizes that the multiple environments where children learn, play and grow impact their development. Children and families exist within and are impacted by the larger social context of culture, policies, partnerships, and politics.
CCRC recognizes this social context and works across systems levels to change the odds for young children and their families. What started as a singular focus on child care resource and referral has evolved into a multi-faceted organization that spans early education, child care financial assistance, child and family well-being, workforce development, community learning, policy and advocacy, research, and more.
