What type of networking would interest you? We are looking for a group of providers to help us design future networking sessions that will meet your needs. Networking can be a valuable opportunity to meet with other child care providers in your community where you can share ideas and challenges.
If you are interested in participating in a Focus Group to provide your input, please contact Jacky at 604-937-1233 or Patricia at 604-294-1109, extension 222.

The resource libraries at both of our locations consist of a variety of toys, puppets, felt stories, activity boxes, and resource books. Effective immediately, child care providers wishing to access our resource lending libraries may borrow resources from either location and return to whichever location is most convenient. If you are a regular borrower at one of the libraries, expect to see an influx of "new" items as materials are integrated between the offices.

The YMCA Child Care Resource and Referral in partnership with S.U.C.C.E.S.S. (United Chinese Community Enrichment Services Society) in pleased to announce that the CCRR Multicultural Awareness Project has been completed and the final report is available to download from our website.

The project was funded to: inform local child care/early childhood development planning from a multicultural perspective; to promote awareness of child care services and resources within the local multicultural community; and to enhance local child care provider’s ability to provide culturally sensitive services.
