Resource Van

The CCR&R Resource Van delivers a vast array of educational materials from its "Early Learners Collection."

We understand that increasing numbers of children are spending long hours in child care settings outside the home. This creates a social responsibility to ensure that all children are in environments which promote optimal development.

Early brain and new scientific research shows that brain development before the age of one is more rapid and extensive than previously realized. Also, that brain development is more vulnerable to environmental influence than suspected. Research shows that the influence of the early environment is long lasting. Because of the above reasons we have the following objectives:
