The last center to open in the Maryland Child Care Network, services provided include referrals for parents looking for quality child care and training and technical assistance for child care providers.
Parents can already take advantage of a child care referral hot line.
An assessment of human service needs on the Lower Eastern Shore listed child care as the second most needed service in the Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties region. Large distances between providers often makes it difficult to find convenient and appropriate child care without referral assistance. The Resource Center will also provide technical assistant and support to family providers and child center staff at both the center and outlying counties.
