Parent Feedback Session Parent Outreach
CCRC is required to coordinate and facilitate a minimum of five feedback sessions per year. CCRC will coordinate these feedback sessions to collect information from a broad representation of parents and caregivers. These small group sessions afford attendees a safe space to discuss family needs, availability of services, and areas where services are either not available or not meeting family needs.
Purpose
 Bi-directional pathways to engage parents
 Ensure representation across geographic regions (including urban, suburban and rural)
 Meet parents where they are: convene virtually and in-person
 Serve as peer-to-peer network to develop parent leadership and advocacy skills
 Engage tribes, linguistically diverse groups, and parents experiencing trauma
 Gather feedback on the B-5 system, inform system reform efforts to meet family needs, and provide input to Early Childhood Policy Council Parent Advisory Committee
CCRC would like a consistent feedback group that represents the entire state. Ideally, each Hub will select five caregivers/parents that have attended a café and/or receives a service from the R&R (e.g., subsidized child care). CCRC will select participants from the list of caregivers/parents each agency provides.
We would like each Hub to select five parents that meet characteristics from the list below:
 Caregivers (male and female)
 Caregivers of children (0-5)
 Caregivers of infants and toddlers (0-2)
 Caregivers of children with special needs
 Caregivers with experience navigating social safety net
 Providers (Center-based, Family Child Care Centers, and FFN)
 Diversity in race/ethnicity
 Diversity in location (rural, urban, suburban, and exurban)
 Various family structures (foster/adopted parents, grandparents/aunts/family as primary caregiver, etc.)
 Multiple languages spoken
