Child Care Aware of Virginia (CCAoVA) serves as Virginia’s childcare resource and referral network, supporting families, providers, and communities across the Commonwealth. Through regional resource centers and statewide services, the organization helps families locate quality childcare, learn about financial assistance opportunities, and make informed childcare decisions that support healthy child development. CCAoVA also supports providers through training, technical assistance, and quality improvement initiatives that strengthen Virginia’s early childhood system.

For families currently on the CCSP waitlist, CCAoVA can also serve as a valuable resource while awaiting available subsidy slots by helping families identify childcare options and connect with community resources.

Families and community partners are encouraged to attend and share the following workshop opportunity:
