Child Care & Family Resources is a community service that works with parents, child care providers, businesses and community organizations to help promote the availability of quality child care services in the area. We provide parents with child care referrals and information on evaluating quality child care, plus resources on various parenting issues. We offer child care providers access to valuable training and support services for new or established programs. Child Care & Family Resources also works to assess the supply and demand of child care in the community, and based on our findings, increase the supply where needed. Child Care & Family Resources Quarterly Newsletters Child Care & Family Resources Annual Reports Annual Reports have been generated for Child Care Resource and Referral in Whatcom, Island, and San Juan counties.
