The Chemung County Child Care Council serves as the official CCRC for families and providers in Elmira and the surrounding areas. It offers families free referrals to licensed and registered child care, assistance with subsidy applications, and education about child development and program types. Providers receive hands-on support with licensing, regulatory compliance, professional development, and quality improvement. The CCRC also helps with enrollment in CACFP and health and safety compliance. By maintaining strong ties with both the community and local government, the Council plays a vital role in ensuring that families have consistent access to safe, high-quality child care.
