The Maryland Child Care Credential Program strives to honor child care providers who go beyond what state licensing and registration regulations require and to improve the quality and stability of the child care workforce. To help those who wish to participate, the Calvert County Family Network (CCFN) has made resources and information available online. Participation in this program is open to all licensed child care providers.
The CCFN has also made information and resources on numerous other beneficial programs available online for child care providers, they are all linked below. You can also visit OurCalvert.org for additional information.

How has the CCFN Supported Child Care Providers So Far?
The CCFN appreciates everything that local child care providers do and wants to support them in every way that we can. To do this, we have worked to issue grants, allocate funds, host events, provide trainings, and more. We work hard because child care providers work hard.
