Child Care
Resource & Referral (R&R)
Kings Community Action Organization’s (KCAO) Resource and Referral (R&R) Program helps parents find quality child care, provides information about state licensing, gives information on childcare subsidy programs and provides technical assistance to child care providers. Choosing childcare is one of the most important decisions a family will ever make, therefore, R & R helps to tailor childcare to the family’s individual needs.

Quality Care Brochure
The "Quality Care Brochure" is an extensive guide detailing a range of child care programs and services in California, encompassing subsidized initiatives, the Head Start program, state-funded preschools, and private child care options. Additionally, it underscores the significance of Oliver's Law, which empowers parents with the right to access validated or unresolved complaints about licensed child care providers, and Megan's Law, which mandates states to disclose pertinent information that is crucial for public safety regarding specific registered individuals.
