Child Care Resource & Referrals (CCR&Rs) help families by providing child care referrals, education about quality care and available options, and financial assistance information. Working within their communities, CCR&Rs identify early care and education needs, and they focus on enhancing the quality and availability of services through recruiting, training, and supporting child care providers.

In a unique partnership, Child Care Innovations at Red Rocks Community College, Mile High United Way's 2-1-1 Child Care Options, and the Denver Early Childhood Council's Resource & Referral collaborate to provide Child Care Resource & Referral services in the following counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Gilpin, Jefferson, and Park.
