Aboriginal Child Care Resource and Referral Program
The BC Aboriginal Child Care Society (BCACCS) operates the only Aboriginal Child Care Resource and Referral (ACCRR) program in BC.
Early childhood educators and providers are supported through the ACCRR program by providing information, outreach, a resource lending library, networking, and learning opportunities.
The ACCRR program makes it easier for Indigenous families to find and access quality licensed and registered child care by providing information, support, resources, and referral services to families and child care providers across the province.
Our goal is to increase the availability and accessibility of quality child care resources and services that support the self-determined needs of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children and families and are adaptable, inclusive, and culturally responsive.
