Program 1 [2020]
The Early Childhood Resource Center is dedicated to improving the quality of childcare in Stark and surrounding counties. This is accomplished by providing training and networking opportunities as well as an extensive resource library to its members. The members consist of families with young children, child care staff, and community agencies serving families with young children. In 2020 ECRC provided 2,118 hours of professional development training and 17,384 members participated in ECRC's workshops. Child Development Associate (CDA) classes were provided to childcare workers who were working to attain CDA credentials and over 200 childcare workers completed the CDA classes. Members can use a production lab at no cost to provide educational, age appropriate materials and activities for preschool children. In 2020, there were 395 visits to the production lab. The number of visits in 2020 decreased significantly from prior years due to COVID-19. ECRC also provides accreditation and support services for home day care providers who wish to enroll in the Step Up to Quality rating system. In 2020 ECRC offered over 150 family programs that focused on literacy, math, music, social studies, and science.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.8MProgram 2 [2020]
