Child Care Resources

Child Care Resources for Fall 2020

  • Child Development Resources is the official resource and referral agency for Ventura County. Are you looking for child care? Use the CDR child care referral system to find the right provider.
  • School districts in Ventura County are working on hosting/providing child care options on school grounds. Updates on school district plans, as it relates to child care, will be posted on the VC Marketplace – Employee Child Care Connection chat forum. VC Marketplace can be accessed through MyVCWeb (while logged into the County network), look for the VC Marketplace icon on the right side navigation bar. You will be prompted to enter your county email address and your organizational password. Then just look for the Employee Child Care Connection tile.
  • Facebook – County of Ventura Employee Child Care Connection Group. This group will only consist of County employees. The group administrator may verify employment, if needed. This group is similar to the VC Marketplace group but is available for employees not on a County system and it is also available on a mobile device. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1251342645201439/about
