Childcare Alliance Response Team (CART)

The Childcare Alliance Response Team (CART) provides intensive behavioral support for children ages 0-5 who are not labeled as having special education needs. Children may be referred by childcare providers or parents for extremely challenging behaviors in their childcare setting. This program can be a support to parents who may be in danger of losing their employment if their child is unable to remain in their childcare setting.

Because CART is a Linn, Johnson and Washington County Community Empowerment Grant funded program, referrals to this program are limited to early care and education providers in Linn, Johnson and Washington counties only.
