If you are a child care provider, or are thinking about becoming a child care provider, your county’s Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR) Organization may be a good resource. They provide technical assistance and training, and, if you are interested in providing family child care, may also be able to provide you with start-up funding. Many CCRRs also maintain lending libraries of toys and equipment.
