Message from the Executive Director

To our generous supporters, thank you for investing in Childcare Resources over the past 28 years! Because of you, we are able to ensure the availability and affordability of high-quality early childhood education and family support programs for income-eligible working families in Indian River County. But our work does not stop there…

​

In the last decade, we have had tremendous growth and development of robust programs that make Childcare Resources a unique resource for children, families, and early educators in this community. In the next few pages, we will highlight some of the amazing work that is currently being done here. But again our work does not stop there…

​

Through your generosity, Childcare Resources is able to work towards a future in which our vision, all children and their families benefit from a high-quality learning experience, is a reality. As we look ahead to the future, I am excited to share with you that we are embarking on a strategic visioning process in which our Board of Directors and other stakeholders will plan the direction of Childcare Resources for years to come. I look forward to sharing more information with you later this year. 

​

The future of our community depends on the education and development of our youngest minds. Thank you for investing in our programs that do just that. With your help, we have the opportunity to change a generation of children! 

 

Warm regards,

​

The Childcare Resources School

The Childcare Resources School

The Childcare Resources School provides high-quality childcare developing the minds of many young children who might otherwise be deprived of the opportunity to attend a quality early education program. With your support, we are able to reduce the parents’ childcare cost burden, while they are able to focus on full-time employment, attend school full time, or a combination of both (required by the program) while their children receive a high-quality education.

The Childcare Resources School and its contracting centers are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Accreditation through NAEYC is the gold standard for early childhood programs across the country. NAEYC is nationally known as a best practice organization that supports evidence-based standards and follows guidelines that ensure young children are receiving the highest quality care available in early education.

74% of working parents have been absent, fallen behind, or lost pay because of lack of childcare.

Outreach

Programs and Outreach

In line with our mission, we have been providing professional development to the early childhood workforce, elevating a quality initiative for all childcare centers in Indian River County. Childcare Resources’ outreach efforts focus on providing quality care for all young children in our community through various workshops and programs, such as:

  • Professional Development Workshops

  • Early Educator Coaching

  • Conscious Discipline Immersion Program

  • Childcare Resources Education Advancement & Training for Early Educators (CREATE)

  • Director Network
     

By addressing all of these areas, we help to increase a high-quality learning environment through increased knowledge for early educators and centers in our community.

The Childcare Resources Wellness & Early Intervention Program (WEIP) provides wellness services to program students and their families, including

  • Health and wellness screenings

  • Developmental assessments

  • Early intervention services
