Early Childhood Learning & Wellness Services

CPC’s Early Childhood Learning & Wellness Services (ECLW) is one of the programs offered by CPC’s Manhattan Community Services.  It is also a partner of the New York City Child Care Resource and Referral Consortium, composed of four culturally diverse child care resource and referral agencies in New York City. We aim to serve the child care needs of families by providing education, information, resources, and referrals, as well as to increase the supply and improve the quality of child care services through coaching, assessment-based and intensive technical assistance, healthcare consultancy, infant toddler and wellness services, and training. Staff members are multi-cultural and multi-lingual in English, Chinese, Spanish, and Korean.

CPC’s Early Childhood Learning & Wellness Services was formerly known as Asian Child Care Resource & Referral (ACCR).

ECLW's service goals are to (1) assist families to find quality child care, provide parent education, information, and referrals; (2) increase the supply and improve the quality of family child care and early childhood education programs through technical assistance, coaching, training, and healthcare consultancy.

ECLW provides parents with information on quality and affordable child care and assists them in navigating NYC’s complex child care system. Additionally, to increase the supply and improve the quality of child care services, ECLW offers orientations, training, technical assistance, grants, healthcare consultancy, and infant toddler services to child care programs.
