Seeds of Change @ Virtual
Tickets
Oct 15 @ 7:00 pm

Child Care Resources will be hosting the 2021 Seeds of Change Annual Event on Friday, October 15th at 7pm. Formerly known as the the CCR Luncheon, the Annual Event will illustrate the impact of investing in children’s early learning as a benefit not only to the children, families, and child care providers we serve, but to our community as a whole.

Child Care Resources has been working with families, caregivers, early learning professionals, and community partners to ensure that every child has a great start in school an in life. We are a trusted resource for families seeking child care across Washington State, helping more than 18,000 families each year explore their early learning options and make informed decisions. Through coaching and professional development, we help more than 2,000 child care professionals annually in King and Pierce Counties develop and improve the quality of their care for all children.

 This is a fundraising event. The CCR Annual Event is a critical financial support that helps us advance our mission of improving all children’s access to high quality early learning experiences so that all children have a great start in school and in life. Join us and register today!

Pumpkin Pickers Special @ Simpson Railroad
Tickets
Oct 23 @ 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm

The event starts with a ride aboard the Simpson Railroad trailer car around the loop over to the event grounds. This year events are located in our operations area to provide more space. There we will have a hay bale/straw maze to navigate thru -hopefully it is not haunted with loggers past. Grab a cup of hot cider to sip while you listen to not too scary short stories read by Area youth and literary groups. Don’t forget just before you get back on the trailer car for the short ride back stop at the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin to take home. While at the activities grounds keep a sharp eye out for trick or treat candy. Kids are encouraged to wear and show off their costumes.
