NEW CCRC Programs - Is one of them for you?

The CCRC is listening to you!

We have received many requests from child care professionals to provide business support, to assist with the child and adult care food program requirements and to help you do more with less. We have created 3 NEW services that will help you with these business issues.

OnCare

is a web-based child care management system coupled with CCRC support services.

Shared Solutions Alliance

is a growing network of small early care and education programs that share costs and receive a set of administrative and program services provided by the CCRC alliance hub.

Child and Adult Care Food Program

The CCRC will act as sponsor (or HUB) for a group of child care programs (family child care and center programs). We will assist with federal requirements, training and share the administrative burden of the program with participating professionals and programs.

For more information please call 440-960-7187 and we will connect you with the appropriate specialist.

Don't get left in the COLD!

If you are scheduled for a workshop, meeting or technical assistance with the CCRC and you are wondering if it is cancelled or delayed due to weather you can log on to www.wkyc.com for a complete listing.

Could you use $1,000 in Christmas Cash?

You are invited to spend the last day of the Mayan Calendar at the 12 Gifts of Christmas with the CCRC!

Friday December 21, 2012 between 11am and 11pm come out to Vermilion's Quaker steak and lube (5150 Liberty Avenue Vermilion, OH 44089) for lunch, snack or dinner. Quaker Steak will donate a percentage of your food purchase to the Child Care Resource Center.

We will also be raffling off $1,000 in Christmas Cash! Tickets will be on sale at the event for $10, BUT you can get a FREE Raffle ticket if you come dressed as a Mayan!

Training, Cancellations, and YOUR Profile

When signing up for training on the Ohio Professional Development Registry don't let a
FULL class stop you from signing onto the "Waiting List". We will provide another training if we see that one is full and there is a waiting list.

Also, take time today to log in and update your information in the registry. Make sure that your registry profile has your specific contact information, NOT YOUR EMPLOYER'S information. If a training is cancelled or messages are sent to registered participants you will not get the message unless you include:

your email address
cell phone number
address

If you have questions on the registry, how to update your profile or trainings offered please call Sarah Gatliff at 440-960-71874 x 230 or sgatliff@ccrcinc.com. You can also visit the CCRC's Website for "How To Videos" about the registry.
