How to Find Upcoming CCRC Events and Trainings
Updated
The Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) lists upcoming events and trainings on the Upcoming Events section of its homepage, and you can browse the full schedule through the View Calendar and View All Upcoming Events links on that section. The listing mixes parenting classes, provider trainings, and community workshops, so it serves both families and child care professionals.
What the Upcoming Events Section Shows
Each entry in the section gives you the event name, date, time, and a location in brackets. From the homepage listing, the format looks like this:
| Date | Time | Event | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 28 | 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm | Nurturing Fathers | San Bernardino |
| Oct 31 | 8:00 am – 4:00 pm | CPR & First Aid Training | Chatsworth |
| Nov 3 | 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm | SEEDS 2: Understanding Infant and Toddler Cues | Not listed in the excerpt |
A few things this tells you about the calendar:
- The mix of topics is broad. "Nurturing Fathers" is a parenting-focused session, while "CPR & First Aid Training" is aimed at child care providers who need certification. "SEEDS 2" covers understanding infant and toddler cues, which fits both parents and early childhood educators.
- Sessions run at different lengths. A three-hour evening class and an eight-hour daytime training both appear, so check the time block before committing.
- Locations vary and are shown in brackets. San Bernardino and Chatsworth are both listed, which means you should confirm the venue before registering — the calendar entry itself is the place to check.
How to Browse the Full Schedule
- Go to ccrcca.org and find the Upcoming Events section on the homepage.
- To see everything at once, select View Calendar — this opens the full calendar view rather than the short homepage list.
- To see a longer list of events in list form, select View All Upcoming Events.
- Pick the event you want and check its date, time, and location before signing up.
The homepage only surfaces a handful of events, so if you are looking for a specific training — for example, a CPR class before a certification deadline — go straight to the calendar view rather than relying on the three or four entries shown on the homepage.
Related Resources Worth Knowing About
The same homepage points to two other resources that often come up alongside the events calendar:
- Help Me Grow LA — for parents or providers with a concern or question about a child's development. The site invites you to "Learn More" from this section.
- Emergency Preparedness — training for child care providers focused on keeping children safe in their care. If you are searching for preparedness training rather than a one-off event, this is a separate entry point from the events calendar.
Common Snags
- Location is easy to miss. It appears in brackets after the event name, and not every entry in the excerpt shows one — confirm the venue on the event's own page before you plan travel.
- The homepage list is short. It shows only the next few events, so a training you need may not appear there even if it is scheduled. Use View Calendar or View All Upcoming Events to check.
- Times are local to the listed location. An 8:00 am start in Chatsworth is a different commute than an evening class in San Bernardino, so plan around the specific venue.
If you are a provider looking for training specifically, start with the calendar and filter mentally by topic — parenting classes, health and safety certifications, and child development sessions are all mixed into the same feed.
