Victoria Child Care Resource and Referral (VCCRR) offers support, information, training, and resources to licensed family child care providers, license-not-required (LNR) child care providers, preschools, group child care centres, and the community. In addition, VCCRR assists individuals who are interested in becoming LNR child care providers.

Our program offers two levels of service. At the Registered Care Provider level, members may access all of our services, while the Community Partner level is designed for those who mainly wish to access our library resources, workshops, and newsletters. Our new Student Services allows people studying to be Early Childhood Educators the opportunity to access our library resources, which include DVDs and videos. Our technology will be made available for the review of DVDs and videos. There is no fee for this service. Please note that all library resources will have to remain on site.
