Below are just a a few of the highlights of the organization so far. Founders Sandy Kahle, Kathy Marshall, and Sherry Waddell draft a plan that supports young children through a community network.

Services
Childcare Resources works to provide high-quality childcare at an affordable cost to working families in Indian River County, providing full-time care for more than 100 children between six weeks and five years of age. Care is provided at the Childcare Resources School and at privately-owned contracting centers.
Childcare Resources offers a spectrum of wellness services for program families. Our Wellness Program features Parent Cafes and other parent engagement opportunities in an effort to bolster the success of those in our program. We partner with a variety of local therapy providers. Our on-site therapy rooms enable students to participate in therapy with the least disruption to their school day.
A coach is an empathetic, encouraging, and experienced educator who can help you with curriculum and classroom recommendations, program structure, interacting with parents and staff, and more! First, you'll identify goals for your classroom or teaching style. Together, you and the coach will discuss strategies to help you reach those goals.
A community of practice is a group of people combining individual and diverse strengths to achieve more together than they can individually. It's somewhere for you to learn, collaborate and exchange ideas and experiences. Communities of practice, led by an early educator coach, are held in the fall and in the spring.
Did you know that children who receive high-quality early education are less likely to repeat a grade and more likely to graduate high school?
