Child Care Resource & Referral Center (CCR&R)
The Southeast CCR&R is one of eleven Centers created throughout Tennessee. The CCR&R continues to work closely with DHS Licensing to improve the quality of child care in Tennessee. Services are available to licensed Family, Group and Center providers.

The Child Care Resource & Referral Center serves Hamilton, Bledsoe, Bradley, Grundy, McMinn, Marion, Polk and Sequatchie Counties by providing free access to technical assistance, site visits, lending library, health consultation, inclusion consultation and workshop trainings. The CCR&R assists child care providers with developmentally appropriate activities for their own location, such as arts, music, and behavioral management.

Tennessee has in place a Star Quality Program that includes assessment of the environment for all licensed programs. The summary report from that assessment is used by the CCR&R to help providers improve the quality of their programs for families and children. www.tnstarquality.org

The Child Care Resource & Referral Center produces a quarterly newsletter that you may access at tnccrr.org.
