Child & Family Resources, Inc. is a private, nonprofit, community-based organization providing services to the children and families of Southern Arizona since 1970. The mission of the agency is "Where Great Things Start Small"​.  CFR makes a significant and lasting impact upon the lives of 38,000 people each year. Our work reflects community needs and provides high quality, accessible and affordable programs to meet those needs. 

We offer many programs across the state and touch thousands of families in so many different ways. Research shows ninety-percent of a child's brain develops in the first three years of life. A majority of those children spend a portion of their day in some form of child care. Excellent child care and education is critical to the health and well being of the child. CFR offers child care training and support programs to child care providers including workshops, technical assistance, and the latest research on how best to care, nurture and support the positive growth and development of young children. 

Investment in quality early childhood care and education saves money by increasing the likelihood that children will be literate, employed, enrolled in post secondary education, and less likely to be school dropouts, dependent on welfare or arrested for criminal activity. 

Our programs build resilient children and families.
