Supporting Care Providers 
through Personal Visits


Reaching Out for Quality is a new project of Child Care Resources that features personal Home Visits with a trained Provider Educator. The Provider Educator brings to the provider’s home: Ideas, information, and activities for the children, the caregiver and the parent!
  • Resources to the community and to the regional Child Care Resources network are offered.
  • Group trainings are available to connect your provider with other providers in the community. Topics of mutual interest can be discussed.
  • The Caregiver Program offers practical and developmentally appropriate ideas to help caregivers create a fun and stimulating environment for the children to explore.
  • Through a wide variety of Play and Literacy based activities children will benefit from the program’s emphasis on helping them to develop their motor skills, their language skills, their thinking skills, and their social skills.
