MADISON - In an effort to maintain high quality Child Care Resource & Referral services across Wisconsin, CCRR agencies and Supporting Families Together Association have moved to a regional model that will create strong collaborations between CCRRs within eight geographic regions.

As a result of these changes, Child Care Resource and Referral of South Central Wisconsin, Inc., previously serving Green, Rock and Walworth counties, has dissolved their agency. 4-C has been chosen by SFTA to be the local agency for this region of the state, which now includes, Columbia, Dane, Dodge, Green, Jefferson, Rock, Sauk and Walworth counties; and the Ho-Chunk Nation.

While there will be some additions to programs currently implemented by 4-C, there will not be any major changes with the exception of serving additional counties. 4-C will continue to provide services to families, early care providers, and the community to its newly-created eight county service delivery area.

4-C has been successfully conducting referrals for the eight county region, well before the statewide restructure.

The 4-C CACFP previously and will continue to serve 20 counties in Wisconsin, all of which include the eight county region as stated above.

4-C continues to certify in-home family day care providers in Columbia and Dane counties, and now certifies family day care providers in Walworth county as well.

Professional Development/Training: The 4-C Professional Development/Training department has begun to offer additional trainings and/or resources in the newly added Green, Rock, and Walworth counties.

4-C staff is excited about the expansion of 4-C programs and hope that it will bring greater continuity to the early care and education services offered throughout the region. For additional information on services provided by 4-C, visit www.4-c.org or call (608) 271-9181.

In existence since 1971, 4-C is part of an association of accredited, non-profit Wisconsin child care resource and referral agencies. 4-C certifies family child care homes in Columbia and Dane Counties, administers the CACFP in 20 Wisconsin Counties, offers a child care referral service and options to parents and employers, and provides professional development and training opportunities for early childhood professionals. The agency's mission is to ensure that every child has access to high quality early care and education through integrated support and expertise.
