What is a child care resource?

Child Care Resource professionals, often known as Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) specialists, help families find and access quality child care services. They provide information about different types of child care, help parents understand what to look for in a provider, and connect families with financial assistance or government programs if needed. These professionals also support child care providers with training, licensing information, and resources to improve their services. Their goal is to ensure that children have access to safe, high-quality care and that families are supported in making informed decisions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a child care resource specialist?

To thrive as a Child Care Resource Specialist, you need a background in early childhood education, knowledge of child development, and experience working with families or social services. Familiarity with child care licensing regulations, resource databases, and case management software is typically required. Strong interpersonal skills, cultural sensitivity, and problem-solving abilities help build trust with families and connect them to appropriate resources. These skills ensure families receive accurate information and support, promoting quality child care and positive outcomes for children.

What are some common challenges faced by child care resource coordinators when working with families and providers?

Child Care Resource coordinators often navigate challenges such as matching families with suitable child care options, addressing limited availability in certain areas, and supporting providers in meeting regulatory standards. They must balance the needs of families with the requirements and capacities of local child care providers, which requires strong communication and problem-solving skills. Building trust with both families and providers is essential for effective collaboration and long-term success in improving access to quality child care.

DESCRIPTION
SAL Community Services connects the community to services that ensure every child can succeed in school and life, and every adult has access to basic human needs like food, counseling, child care, and housing.

  • Verify client and child care provider eligibility in assigned caseload.
  • Process applications, approvals, cancellations, denials and redeterminations.
We are looking for team members who:
  • Share a love for children and a passion for helping them learn, grow, and thrive;
  • Enjoy following a routine, and welcome the in-the-moment changes that come with each day in childcare;
  • Believe that early childhood education is the first step to a child's successful future;
  • Are passionate about building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for all, and,
  • Are professional, kind, and don't take themselves too seriously!
Salary, benefits and perks.
Our entire compensation package includes paid time off and paid holidays; health, dental, and vision benefits; 401(k) with employer contribution; and pet insurance. A full list of benefits is available on our website at salcommunityservices.org.

Required: High School Diploma or equivalency certificate (GED). Preferred: Associate's degree (or 66+ hours of college credit). Experience with or knowledge of Child Care Resource and Referral Service or child care services and experience working with families with low income and/or child care subsidies is desired.
