CCRC wins National Quality Certification
February 7, 2005 The Oklahoma Child Care Resource and Referral Association (OCCRRA) announced today that it has earned the prestigious “Quality Assurance” certification by Child Care Aware®. This national voluntary accreditation program is designed to insure that families across the nation have access to consistent, high-quality services that help them make informed choices about child care.
Oklahoma is now only the third state to achieve this level of excellence statewide. To win accreditation, all eight regional offices, as well as the state office in Oklahoma City, had to meet stringent criteria. Like the other regional offices, Child Care Resource Center, located in Tulsa, is a community-based agency serving Tulsa, Creek, Rogers and Wagoner Counties by helping parents find appropriate licensed child care that fits their needs. The free service includes information about what care is available in the community, how to evaluate available options and how to obtain public financial aid for eligible families. “We are very proud to have achieved Quality Assurance certification for our agency,” said Jan Figart, Interim Director for the organization. We strive to provide excellent services to child care consumers. Receiving Child Care Aware’s national seal of approval proves we are succeeding.” Child Care Aware’s manager, Stacey Minott, explained, “The child care market is a complicated one to navigate. Families want to know what good child care looks like and how to find and pay for it. The Oklahoma Child Care Resource and Referral Association, through its regional offices, provides families with expert help and has met national practice standards for service delivery. It is the best resource for information on local child care availability, licensing laws, quality indicators, subsidies, and other parenting resources.” Oklahoma Child Care Resource and Referral Association, Inc., is a private, non-profit organization established in 1999 to promote child care quality, affordability and availability for all Oklahoma families. Families across the state can link to local services through a statewide hotline, 1-888-962-2772 and website, www.oklahomachildcare.org. Child Care Aware is an initiative of NACCRRA, the nation’s network of child care resource and referral organizations.
