<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black;background:white">Child Care Resource and Referral of Washington County (CCR&R) has developed strong partnerships with all three libraries in its service area, including Cedar Mill Community Libraries,
Beaverton City Library and Washington County Cooperative Library Services. These strong partnerships, according to Handyside “remove access barriers to child care provider trainings, provide successful grant support, and leadership support with a child care
provider mental health summit.”</span><span class="contentpasted0"><span style="color:#242424;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black;background:white">Anderson noted that “CCR&R is an essential partner for WCCLS and member libraries. They are able to identify what trainings are most needed and promote them directly to child
care providers. CCR&R has a relationship with the Oregon Center for Career Development, the statewide professional development system for child care provider, so they are able to streamline tracking continuing education credit for participating providers so
they don’t have to do it themselves. Without CCR&R we may not meet providers needs as effectively, and would not get the level of participation in the training series.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black;background:white"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black;background:white">Wolf added that “Beaverton City Library has been providing free trainings for early childhood educators since 2015. Through the years we’ve developed a growing partnership with
CCR&R of Washington County, and our services to child care providers have flourished because of it! CCR&R provides wrap around services, starting with advertising library trainings directly to providers via their newsletters, social media, and in one-on-one
conversations directly with the providers who need these trainings the most, and ending with processing and entering the community education credits into the state database for providers, many of whom lack the time, technology, or expertise to scan, upload,
and submit the certificates themselves. Our partners at CCR&R are instrumental in helping library staff understand the needs and barriers that many childcare providers have in accessing library resources and bringing ideas of how to make it easy to use the
library. Likewise, they have educated themselves on current library services like computer classes, technology help offerings, library of things, to tell providers in the area what the library has for them. Early childhood educators, the children and families
they serve, and the library all win because of CCR&R’s partnership with our libraries!”</span><span class="contentpasted0"><span style="color:#242424;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
