Allegany County Community Opportunities and Rural Development (ACCORD) plays a critical role in helping rural families and providers across Allegany and nearby counties access child care support. The CCRC provides free, personalized referrals for families, including help navigating subsidies and finding programs that fit their needs. For providers, services include licensing support, technical assistance, training, and participation in CACFP. By addressing the specific needs of rural communities—where access can be limited—this CCRC supports both economic development and early childhood well-being across the region.
