Adirondack Community Action Programs (ACAP) serves as the CCRC for Essex County, providing essential services to both families and child care providers. Families are offered free, customized referrals to child care providers that meet their location, schedule, and developmental needs, along with help accessing subsidies. For providers, ACAP offers training, licensing assistance, health and safety resources, and technical support for new or expanding programs. The agency is particularly focused on addressing the child care challenges faced in rural and mountainous communities, ensuring access and quality regardless of geographic barriers. ACAP also plays a key role in regional early childhood advocacy and system coordination.
