Fourth Edition Available Now!

The Directory includes hundreds and hundreds of sources for no-cost, low-cost, and competitively-priced materials, brochures, books, toys, safety products, children's equipment and supplies, posters, videos, software, newsletters, and hot-lines.

The Directory lists addresses and contact information (including 800-numbers and websites) and is organized to help providers find just what they need fast.  And it's just as valuable for groups that work with child care providers, helping them to identify training materials.

Our Child Care Resource Directory includes sections on -

Nutrition and Health

Safety and Injury Prevention

Professional Development

Kids' Books and Literacy

Toys, Art Supplies, and Children's Furniture

Non-violent, Non-sexist Children's Videos /CD-ROMS

As a non-profit committed to helping children, the Soho Center's goal is simple - we want everything we do to help the largest number of child care providers possible. After all, that's where a huge number of America's young children spend the bulk of their waking hours. This Directory will help make child care programs better; that's why we created it. And we're doing all we can to get it to as many child care sites and providers as possible. 

One example - We sent free copies of an earlier Edition of our National Child Care Resource Directory to every Food Program Sponsor in America - about 1,200 of them. That mailing included a special offer to join our next printing and purchase enough copies of the Directory for each of their providers - a lot of them did and we got orders from all over America.  It was a great success - which is why we're on our 4th Edition!
