Child Care Resource & Referral provides assistance to families as they look for child care for their children. Depending on a family’s size and income, a yearly fee of $0 - $30 may be charged for a consultation with a child care specialist who will provide families with a tailored list of child care providers, answers to child care questions, and resources to help make the best choice possible for children.

Parent referral specialists are available to assist you Monday thru Friday between the hours of 9am – 3 pm. at 800-552-5526. Fridays are by appointment only

Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) is not a child care provider. We do not recommend child care providers. Information in our database on providers is obtained from the providers through written documents and phone or personal conversations.

All information provided to CCR&R is confidential and used for the purpose of referrals, trainings and assistance to parents, child care providers, and employers in Will, Grundy, Kendall, and Kankakee counties in Illinois.
