Resource & Referral Services
|
Important notice for Home Care Providers Fraud Alert! Click here for more information |
Resource & Referral Services (R&R) is separate from the Head Start component of Tulare County Child Care. R&R offers child care resource services to all families and child care providers in the county. It also administers state and federal subsidized payment programs to help provide child care for low-income families.
R&R Lending Library
The Resource & Referral Services Library is the link between parents and providers in Tulare County. R&R provides parents with facts about quality care, information on child care costs, and referrals to a variety of child care options. R&R services are available to any parent, regardless of income.
The R&R staff is knowledgeable about licensing requirements and issues and provides technical assistance to those individuals who want to open a family child care home or child care center. R&R also helps providers that are not required to be licensed by fingerprinting them for the TrustLine child care registry. If a provider is registered through TrustLine, parents can be assured that the individual is free of any serious criminal convictions.
R&R promotes provider development by offering workshops, an annual child care conference, a resource lending library, a bimonthly newsletter and networking with various provider groups.
Referrals and information are available regarding:
- Finding Quality Child Care
- Child Care Centers
- Child Care Homes
- License Exempt Homes
- Complaint Policy
- Community Resources and Support Groups
- Free or Low Cost Child Care
- Child Care and Services for Children with Special Needs
Other services:
