Community Connection Point: Empowering Families and Child Care Providers
Community Connection Point (CCCP) is a non-profit organization that has been serving families and child care providers in Illinois for over 30 years. The organization's mission is to provide education, resources, and support to families and child care providers to ensure that every child has access to quality, affordable child care.
At CCCP, we understand the challenges that families face when it comes to finding reliable child care. We also recognize the importance of early childhood education in a child's development. That's why we offer a range of services designed to help families find the right child care provider for their needs.
Our team of experts works closely with parents to understand their unique requirements and preferences. We then provide them with information about different types of child care options available in their area, including licensed family homes, group homes, centers, and preschools.
We also assist parents in understanding the licensing requirements for each type of provider so they can make informed decisions about their children's safety and well-being. Our team provides guidance on how to conduct background checks on potential providers as well as tips on how to interview them effectively.
In addition to helping families find quality childcare providers, CCCP also offers training programs for childcare professionals. Our goal is not only to ensure that children receive high-quality care but also that caregivers have access to ongoing professional development opportunities.
Our training programs cover a wide range of topics such as health & safety practices, curriculum planning & implementation strategies, behavior management techniques & more! We believe that by providing these resources we can help improve the overall quality of early childhood education across our community.
At CCCP we are committed not only improving access but also affordability when it comes quality childcare services. We work closely with local government agencies such as DHS (Department Of Human Services)and other organizations like United Way or Community Foundation who share our vision for accessible high-quality childcare services at affordable prices.
We also offer financial assistance to families who qualify for our Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). This program helps low-income families pay for child care services so that they can work or attend school without worrying about the cost of childcare.
In conclusion, Community Connection Point is a valuable resource for families and child care providers in Illinois. Our team of experts is dedicated to providing education, resources, and support to ensure that every child has access to quality, affordable child care. We believe that by working together we can create a brighter future for our children and our community.
