The Healthy Child Care Consultant Network Support Center will demonstrate its new website which includes the searchable National Child Care Health Consultant (CCHC) Registry, a set of profiles that describe CCHC initiatives in 55 states and territories, and a search wizard that allows users to compare how states administer, fund, and train CCHCs.
