History and Services

For over 40 years, Child Care Resources has worked to improve the quality of and access to child care in Western Montana. Specifically, our work has focused on improving access to child care for difficult to serve populations such as infants, children with special needs, low-income families, minority children and families who need part-time care.

CCR has been actively involved in community education and advocacy regarding the early childhood profession, which includes issues related to licensing, compensation and professional recognition.
