A statewide Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) program was created by the North Dakota legislature in 1991. As a result, contracts to provide the services identified in the N.D.C.C § 50-11.1-11.1 were developed in 1992.

 

CCR&R, as mandated by law, are to provide referral services to parents looking for child care. The provider database consists of information on licensed child care program such as:

 

• Where they are located

 

• Hours they are open

 

• How many children they can take

 

• What ages they will accept

 

• Special qualifications they have

 

• Any current vacancies they may have

 

• If there are pets in the home

 

• Rate information

 

• Activities offered to the children in their child care

 

The authorized agent should refer requests for child care lists to the local Child Care Resource and Referral Office. If an individual requests the child care list after being referred to Child Resource and Referral, the authorized agent shall release the child care list to the individual. The list must be the most current list.

 

• The list must include self-declared and licensed providers

 

• The authorized agent may not recommend specific providers

 

• The authorized agent shall inform the individual that a provider’s regulatory history is public record and that the individual may request the history of concerns and corrective action on any potential provider they choose.
