Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) is county-wide program that helps families find child care. CCR&R also provides resources and information for child care providers and the community. This program is administered by the Hillsborough County Public Schools – School Readiness Program and funded by the Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County. The CCR&R phone service is available Monday through Friday 8:00 am- 5:00 pm and a website search is always available. Child care resource and referral services are provided at no charge.
