Who We Are

Child Care Works is an initiative of Oregon’s regional Child Care Resource & Referral agencies (CCR&Rs).

The campaign exists to advocate for the importance of accessible, quality child care for all Oregon children with the goals of improving access to care, improving the quality of care, and building awareness and support (both financially and in action) for child care across our state.

CCR&Rs are Oregon’s child care connection—a network of experts and resources advancing quality child care through training, advocacy, community-based learning, and relationship-based support for child care providers and families alike. Every county across Oregon has a local CCR&R.
