How We Help
WHo we Are
The Early Learning Coalition of Orange County (ELCOC) is committed to ensuring that every child in our community has equal access to high quality early learning programs by supporting those who help children grow and develop. Our vision is for every child in Orange County to enter Kindergarten with the foundation necessary to reach their full potential. We connect families and preschool programs with resources to provide the best possible start for children. Our focus is not just on access to early learning, but also on ensuring the highest quality of child care at all our providers' locations. Every child deserves equal access to quality early education to help them thrive.
If you need information on provider services, please call 407-841-6607 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You can also visit our office or other walk-in locations.
Child Care Resource and Referrals
Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) is a free service available to all Orange County families that helps them to:
- identify and select quality early learning programs
- connect to local community agencies and resources
- engage in their children's education and learning
- locate financial resource options
Whether you are looking for a few hours or a full week of child care for your infant, preschooler, or school-age child, CCR&R Specialists are available to help. It's important to note that CCR&R provides referrals, not recommendations. For information on CCR&R services, please call 407-841-6607, Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or by email at ccrrorange@elcoc.org.
