The Child Care Resource Center is one of California’s main services for child care financial assistance. The CCRC works with children, parents and child care professionals. It’s main goals are centered around education and early care. Most families begin in a program called CalWORKs Stage 1. Your family may qualify for financial help with child care if you already receive TANF or some other kind of cash aid. You must have a child under 13 years old, or one with special and exceptional needs, living in your home. You must either work or participate in an approved educational program. After a family shows financial and social stability, they may transfer to Stage 2 of CalWORKs. To find out more, visit the Child Care Resource Center.
