Your R&R is here to support you.
Whether you're just beginning your search for a Pre-K program or trying to figure out how to afford care, your local Child Care Resource & Referral (R&R) Agency is the best place to start.
R&Rs help families explore child care and preschool options that meet their unique needs, provide up-to-date information about available programs in your area, and guide you through financial assistance opportunities.
If you're unsure what type of care is right for your child, have questions about eligibility, or need help navigating your options, your R&R is here to support you.
