What We Offer
Lending Library – Each R&R site has a lending library with a variety of learning materials and toys for early childhood professionals, children, and families. Items can be checked out, at no cost, for up to 14 days!
Community Events – Monthly community events at each site provide a fun and educational experience. Events are free and open to the public.
Family Support – The R&R network connects families with child care options and promotes educational opportunities for workforce development.
Maker Space - Our locations offer a maker space for providers to create die-cuts, laminate materials, print, and more.
Resource & Referral Mobile Units
To address the critical need for access to educational resources and materials for children, the R&R Mobile Units help foster learning experiences and enhance school readiness. These mobile units are deployed in rural communities across the state to help families, community members, and early care and education providers have access to a diverse range of materials, including equipment for creating homemade classroom resources. Materials include developmentally appropriate resources at no cost.
These mobile units travel statewide, attending community events and offering scheduled visits to help provide equitable access to resources and support for all.
