“For 36 years, partnering with all families and educators to advance quality child care and education. The ccrc helps families make informed child care choices, recruits, trains and supports child care professionals and programs - leads, advocates and collaborates at the local, state and national level, collects and disseminates data to inform decision makers. Listed below are some highlights of our work from the year ended in 2025. Accomplishments which would not be possible without the commitment of our staff, board, and funders. Ccrc trained early education professionals on required sutq, child development, health and safety, stem/steam, early learning assessments, and school readiness. 100% of our trainings are ohio approved, meaning that our teachers have advanced degrees and workshop content is aligned to ohio's early learning standards for infants through middle school aged children. Early education providers participating in 'step up to quality' are required to complete ohio approved workshops to earn, maintain, and increase their star ratings. Ccrc worked with over 252 professionals to support their participation in 'step up to quality', ohio's quality rating system. The level of this support ranged from simply answering questions to facilitating four cohorts meetings and individual support over several months to prepare and compile application packets, and finally 'push the button for quality'. The end result is creating high quality child care to serve children and families across our five-county region of the state. Ccrc helped families find high-quality child care that meets the families' very specific needs. Many of these families had difficult care arrangements requiring service coordination for transportation, clothing, supplies, and special needs. Ccrc provided parent cafe's in locations throughout the service delivery area. Ccrc worked to strengthen public policy related to early care and education through advocacy for higher health and safety standards for providers, increased professional development requirements for child care workers, and parent education specific to what constitutes high quality care to drive demand for better child care centers. Ccrc educated the public on the value of early education through a variety of channels from our website (ccrcinc.com), social media presence, our electronic newsletter, and staff presence at local events. The ccrc is funded by the department of children and youth, the u.s department of agriculture, the ohio children's trust fund, local counties, and regional private foundations. Less than 5% of our total income is used for administrative expenses. That's about 5 cents out of every dollar, meaning that 95% of our revenue is spent directly to support families, child care professionals, and community members.”
