Quality Rating 5: Community Resources

Community Resources Statement

Child care centers, family child care homes, and school-age programs are a part of a larger community. Sharing and accessing community resources helps connect families and children to a range of local services and opportunities. Maintaining a current list of community agencies that provide support, education, and services gives you ready access to information and experiences that may benefit the families, children, and staff in your program.

This section helps you review, revise, or create a statement that explains how your program identifies and updates resources for children and families, as well as how you connect families to those resources. It helps you meet the requirements for Administrative Policies and Practices: Community Resources: ADM 13.5 and ADM 14.5.
