Community Resources for Children (CRC)

CRC serves over 4,500 people in Napa County, working to ensure every young child has the chance to learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, nurturing environment. More than 1,200 children now access our free or low-cost, high-quality care during their most critical developmental years. This is a 30% increase in just the last year; the need for our services continues to grow.

We train and coach over 400 early educators, caregivers, and parents in child development, trauma-informed care, and more,  which directly impacts more than 1,700 children. With only 1 in 4 children able to access quality child care, we’ve helped 46 women, many from underserved communities, launch home-based child care businesses. Through hands-on support and business coaching, we’ve helped create 480 new child care spaces, enabling as many adult guardians to enter or remain in the workforce.

We partner with public and private agencies to expand access, improve quality, and connect families – especially those facing poverty or instability – to the resources they need. Help us build a future where every child, regardless of circumstance, has the support they need to thrive!
