Choosing Child Care?
It’s one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. Our experienced staff is here to help.
The Urban League’s Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) promotes safe, affordable and accessible high-quality child care programs.
We know child care costs can take up a lot of the monthly budget. The Child Care Subsidy Assistance Program is here to help families who are working, in training or school, or a combination of both to pay for child care.
