Nebraska's Child Care Referral Network (CCRN) falls under the work of the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation and is a searchable web application that provides parents an easy way to find childcare near them that have the features they need. The site combines information from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services licensing program, the Nebraska Department of Education Step Up to Quality database, and input from childcare providers. Providers also have the ability to edit certain information to provide real time updates on their available capacity.
