When a parent calls Child Care Resources, a counselor discusses the kind of care the parent wants, where and when it is needed, and any other requirements of the family of the child. The counselor then refers to the parent to at least three child care programs from a computerized database. Child Care Resources does not recommend or endorse any agency or individual. We believe that parents are best able to choose the care they want for their children. Child Care Resources enables them to make an informed choice.
Parents receive child care referrals free of charge.
Child Care Resources was founded in 1989 through support from Mervyn s, the Greater New Orleans Section of the National Council of Jewish Women, and The Greater New Orleans Foundation. Employers may contract with Child Care Resources to provide expert, fast child care referrals for their employees. Since child care problems are a major cause of work-force tardiness and absenteeism, many employers across the country have recognized the value of such a service to help employees find good care for their children.
