Child Care Resource & Referral
As a part of our commitment to helping children and families thrive, Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR) provides services and support to child care providers and parents throughout Northern BC. Prince George & District CCRR provides families, the child care workforce and child care providers in Prince George, Mackenzie, Vanderhoof and surrounding areas with child care referrals, resources, information and the support they need to raise happy and healthy children. Child Care Resource and Referral is operated by YMCA BC and funded by the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
Our Prince George office is located at the YMCA Early Learning Centre at 2020 Massey Drive where families and caregivers can stop by for assistance with child care subsidy or use our Lending Library. If you are a care provider and would like to schedule a support visit please email nbc.ccrr@bc.ymca.ca or call (250) 563-2483.
