Experts in family matters say that: choosing child care is one of the most important decisions families make; that the quality of a child’s future depends on the quality of caregiving in the first five years; that children benefit when the care provided is safe, healthy, thoughtful, organized and most importantly led by a well-trained, attentive caregiver; and that finding quality child care takes time and effort.
The Delaware Opportunities Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) program helps families make informed decisions about child care. CCR&R provides information on:
- child care options
- regulations
- the average cost of care and help with the cost of care
- evaluating child care programs
