For Parents & Families

The Child Development Resource Center is the Child Care Resource & Referral (R&R) Program for Santa Cruz County. R&Rs are community based agencies or programs that provide services to parents, potential and existing child care professionals, employers, and the community. R&Rs act as clearinghouses of information and maintain a broad based range of resources for children and families. R&Rs also provide data for child care planning, advocacy, training, and other supports to the child care community.

Parents can visit the Child Care Switchboard for information on how to find quality child care.
