For many working parents, the struggle to find safe, reliable childcare affects far more than their daily routine. It impacts their jobs, their finances, and their overall well‑being. When care falls through or simply isn’t available, families face lost work hours, mounting stress, and difficult choices that no parent should have to navigate alone.
With reliability, flexible hours, and staff qualifications topping parents’ priorities, Child Care Aware of Virginia (CCAOVA) makes sure every child in Virginia has access to safe, nurturing, high‑quality care by helping families navigate their choices and find care that supports their child’s growth.
A Trusted Resource for Virginia Families
Child Care Aware of Virginia (CCAOVA) has spent decades helping parents navigate childcare options, understand safety standards, and access financial support and has grown into a statewide network supporting families, childcare providers, and communities.
Helping Families Find the Right Child Care Fit
One of the most valuable services CCAOVA offers is personalized help with childcare referrals. Families can request support to explore licensed programs, compare options, and understand what high‑quality care looks like.
Parents can also access guidance on:
- Understanding early childhood education and why it matters
- Navigating program types (centers, family day homes, preschools, and more)
- Asking the right questions during tours
- Reviewing safety and licensing information
Support for Paying for Child Care
For many families, cost is the biggest barrier. CCAOVA helps parents explore financial assistance options, including state subsidies and local programs that can reduce or fully cover the cost of care. Their resources make it easier to understand eligibility, apply for support, and find programs that fit a family’s needs.
