Agency Support

Connecting California Families (CCF) is dedicated to strengthening the foundation of quality child care throughout the state. We go beyond standard support by actively integrating and leveraging the comprehensive expertise and resources of the entire Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) team. We serve as a vital link, ensuring that our participating child care agencies receive intensive, additional support and specialized services. This collaboration allows us to effectively tap into the collective strengths and capacity of the greater CCRC, ultimately helping agencies thrive and deliver the highest quality care to the California families who rely on them.

Our Data-Driven Research Support

CCRC’s Research Division supports CCF by bringing key initiatives like Parent Cafés and Trauma Informed Care (TIC) to life through data-driven techniques. Research uses data, stories, and strategy to create a clearer, more equitable picture of what’s happening across the state.

By gathering input from families, providers, and agencies, Research helps ensure that every voice, especially those too often left out, is heard, valued, and reflected in decision-making. Research tells stories that move systems toward equity.
