We understand the challenges of finding reliable and affordable child care. To address this, the Regional Child Care Network (RCCN) was formed by Ottawa Area ISD, Allegan Area ESA and Lakeshore Advantage. We are committed to providing comprehensive resources, innovative solutions, and community support to help parents, employers and child care providers navigate the child care landscape.

RCCN’s purpose is to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders to collaborate on creating innovative solutions that ensure equitable access to child care for working families. Our mission is to unite community partners, design and implement solutions, promote equity and access, advocate for change and create a data-driven approach to improve child care services.

Data analysis reveals the many challenges in child care, providing a comprehensive view of the crisis. This detailed understanding allows us to identify key problems and develop effective, data-driven solutions.
