National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies

This week I looked more closely at the  National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies
http://www.naccrra.org/.   NACCRRA works to make sure that all families in the United States have quality and affordable child care.  The NACCRRA works through research and advocacy for policies that improve the lives of children and families.  I found many resources for child care providers including information about the recent school shooting at Sandy Hook and how to help children cope with traumatic events, talking to children about violence and coping with crisis.  I also found links to child care news by each state and information about state and federal policies and politcal information. Although I did not see anything related to the topic of my study this week (Diversity and Demographics), I found that it had many resources and information that would be helpful to child care providers.  This is definitely a resource I will continue to use.
