Welcome to the Local Child Care Planning Council

We would like to welcome you to the San Joaquin County Local Child Care Planning Council Web Page. The Council works to promote the development of quality child care in San Joaquin County through community education, collaboration and advocacy.

For more details on the function of the Council, click on the desired topic in the blue selection box. You might also like to visit our Community Highlights link to check the latest events, and the Resource link is a great place to find other agencies interested in quality child care and issues pertaining to our children.

Unfortunately, the Governor/Legislature has proposed a state budget that eliminates funding for the continued operations of the Centralized Eligibility List also known as CEL, as of July 1, 2011. For more information or to find subsidized child care and preschool programs, click here.
