Finding Child Care
SC CCR&R Family Services and Child Care Referrals
Finding a child care arrangement that works for your family can be challenging. We are here to help. The SC Child Care Inclusion Collaborative (SCIC) partners with the SC Child Care Resource and Referral Network (SC CCR&R) to assist families with their child care search.
SC CCR&R's referral service helps meet the child care needs of families across South Carolina. Family Referral Specialists learn about your family’s needs and priorities to customize your child care referral. They help your family make an informed choice by providing resources on how to find a quality program and answering your questions along the way.
If you need help paying for child care, SC CCR&R's family referral specialists can connect you with one of South Carolina's financial assistance options and happily walk you through the process.
A Resource for Your Child Care Search
SCIC's 2-hour online module, ADA Basics for Families Making Child Care Decisions, provides an overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), specifically the provisions related to child care. Families will learn about the benefits of inclusion, how to communicate with child care providers about their child's needs, what to look for when selecting a quality provider, and resources available in South Carolina to support their child care search.
