Planning Council History

In 1991, a Federal Child Care and Development Block Grant was established. With the money created from this grant, Child Care & Development Planning Councils were created. These Councils allow counties to report to the state the individual needs of each particular county and to assist families with childcare and development services

Each of the 58 counties in the state of California has an active Council. Each council is overseen by the California Department of Education, Child Development Division. Planning Councils are constantly evolving in order to effectively serve the best interests of children in their counties.

Our Mission

The mission of the Yolo County Child Care Planning Council is to promote the professional growth of the child care workforce and to support the development of quality child care programs.
