CCRC will coordinate with the IECMHC Network and the statewide Regional Leads to support increased awareness and connection with IECMHC Network services throughout the state. Asa result, each region will be coordinating registration for training events and webinars for child care providers and distribution of Connect Reflect Grow Kits in their region.
The Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF) has contacted CCRC to engage in an opportunity to coordinate trainings throughout CA, leveraging our existing Regional infrastructure. Trainings will support the building of the child care center infrastructure across the state. CCRC is also exploring creating natural spaces curriculum options to support LIIF in a potential grant to plant trees in the outdoor areas of day care programs.
Statewide partners have shared their current projects with CCRC in addressing families who are or at great risk of experiencing homelessness. Upon initial findings, there is a need for child care services to support affected families by providing opportunities to stabilize their living situation. CCRC will begin discussions with R&Rs across the state of California to build awareness of existing programs and seek out funding opportunities to pilot an emergency child care program.
