📣 Child Care Providers & Early Childhood Educators — We Want to Hear From You! 📣

At Blue Mountain Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R), our goal is to provide the resources, training, and support that are most meaningful and useful to you. To do that, we need your feedback!

We invite all child care providers and early educators working with children ages 0–5 to take a few minutes to complete our Annual CCR&R Provider Survey.

Your feedback helps us understand:
✨ The challenges you are experiencing
✨ The supports and resources that would be most helpful
✨ The training topics and professional development opportunities you would like to see offered

The information you share helps us:
• Identify training topics that matter most to providers
• Develop resources and supports based on your needs
• Improve the services CCR&R provides to our early childhood community
• Ensure we are hearing from providers across different program types and experiences

Your voice matters! The more providers who participate, the better we can represent the needs of our early childhood community and advocate for meaningful resources and support.

⏰ The survey only takes 3–5 minutes to complete.

Please complete the survey and share it with other child care providers, educators, and staff members who work with young children.

Are challenging behaviors impacting your child care program?

CCR&R and Every Child Belongs (ECB) are here to help! If you're seeing persistent or high-needs behaviors in your child care program, we encourage you to complete the online Connection Form at https://everychildbelongs.org/

Our team can partner with you to build skills, strengthen strategies, and explore practical approaches for supporting children through developmentally appropriate practices and positive learning environments. Through free Technical Assistance and Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (IECMHC), providers and educators can access culturally responsive support tailored to their specific needs.

Together, we can explore developmentally appropriate practices, strengthen classroom environments, and identify additional resources that help children, educators, and programs thrive.

Whether you're looking for new tools, guidance on classroom practices, or support in creating an environment that promotes positive behavior, we're here to help.

You don't have to navigate these challenges alone. Reach out today and learn how ECB and CCR&R can support you and your program.

Because every child belongs, and every educator deserves support.

A new service designed to support educators to help keep young children in care.

¡Un llamado a todos los educadores de la primera infancia y proveedores de cuidado infantil!

¿Le resultan abrumadores algunos comportamientos en ciertos días?
¿Alguna vez siente que está cargando con todo usted solo?

Nuestra conferencia del 30 de mayo no tiene como objetivo añadir más carga a sus responsabilidades, sino brindarle herramientas, claridad y conexiones. Aprenderá estrategias inclusivas a través de una introducción al «Modelo de la Pirámide» (Pyramid Model), explorará la iniciativa «Every Child Belongs» y lo que esta significa para usted y su programa, y ​​recibirá orientación sobre a dónde acudir cuando el agotamiento profesional (burnout) haga acto de presencia.

Porque el apoyo a los niños comienza con el apoyo a los educadores.

✔️Una vez que se registre, recibirá información sobre becas y detalles sobre cómo solicitarlas.

Si no está seguro de si cumple con los requisitos, comuníquese con nosotros a través de [email protected] o llame al 541.656.2049.
