WELCOME

Welcome to the Tennessee Child Care Resource and Referral Network (CCR&R). There are ten (10) CCR&R offices across Tennessee each providing free training and technical assistance to child care providers to improve the quality of child care for all children.

The CCR&R also helps parents seeking child care to find child care providers in their area. Whether you are a parent seeking child care resources, a child care provider seeking help with your work, an employer trying to assist parents in your organization, or a community organization involved with children, we look forward to helping you obtain the information you need.

Take a few minutes and explore the website.  You will find information on Tennessee's Infant and Toddler Initiative, Strengthening Families and Provider Self Assessment and Mentoring.  You can also watch our Health and Safety video or find out about TNCCPT trainings.   Help is just a click away!!!!
