Incorporated in 1989, the Ohio Child Care Resource & Referral Association (OCCRRA) supports professional development and technical assistance programs, products and services to support our Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) member agencies promoting quality care and learning throughout Ohio. OCCRRA is governed by a board of directors comprised of representatives from our seven regional CCR&R agencies and up to seven community at-large members. Statewide programs under OCCRRA's direction, such as the Ohio Professional Registry and T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® OHIO, provide services for professionals who work directly with children. OCCRRA participates in state–level efforts aimed at improving policies that impact early care, learning, and afterschool programs and professionals.
