The mission of the Monterey County Child Care Planning Council is to create a comprehensive, integrated child care delivery system that offers safe, high quality, culturally sensitive, affordable child care to Monterey County families who need it; a system that allows parental choice and is supported by strong partnerships with public and private resources.
About the Council

The Local Planning Council was formed in 1991, in accordance with state law established by Assembly Bill 2141. The creation of the Council was for the purpose of identifying local child care priorities and developing policies to fulfill those priorities.

The Council is comprised of 15 members who represent consumers of child care services, child care providers, community and public agencies, and child care advocates. Members are appointed by the County Board of Supervisors and Monterey County Superintendent of Schools. The California Department of Education provides funding for the work of the council, which includes the following:

Conducts local needs assessment

Establishes local priorities for child care funding

Develop county-wide strategic plan

Facilitate the temporary and voluntary transfer of funds between State funded agencies

The Local Planning Council meetings are open to the public.

In 2014, the United Way and its partners conducted a County-wide needs assessment to determine the key issues that prevent residents from achieving prosperity. One of these barriers was access to quality and affordable child care. In Monterey County, there are 10,352 licensed child care slots for the 32,410 children 0-5 of working families. Recent national and local research has shown that Family, Friends, and Neighbors (FFN) child care providers - particularly in low-income communities - care for nearly 70 percent of children with working parents. The Kindergarten Readiness Assessment determined that only 25% of children County wide are kindergarten-ready. We know that 89% of children who ranked at the bottom 5% of the kindergarten readiness assessment are Hispanic/Latino. 70% of these children live below the Federal Poverty Level.

In a recent survey of Monterey County child care providers, 100% of respondents indicated that they were operating at full capacity and had waiting lists. Reasons cited included lack available of classrooms and lack of available workforce.

Our Early Care and Education Vision

Our goal is to double the percentage of children that are fully prepared for kindergarten from just 25% today to 50% by 2025.

Our Early Care and Education Strategies
Monterey County Preschool Service Corps
In partnership with local preschools, Monterey County Preschool Service Corps is offering tutoring activities to preschool children. The program's mission is to support kindergarten readiness by offering individualized opportunities for preschool children to develop language and literacy skills during their regular preschool day.
Friends, Family, and Neighbors Child Care Providers (FFN)
FFNs are informal child care providers who have not had the opportunity or need to become licensed. They provide valuable services but do not have access to funding and technical assistance provided by the formal child care system. In Monterey County, there are over 10,000 licensed child care openings for more than 38,000 children aged birth through five-years-old. Because of this gap, it is estimated that most child care is provided by FFN caregivers. UWMC is partnering with the City of Gonzales to inform FFN policies, strategies, and services. Our Gonzales partners are developing an FFN support network of licensed providers and early learning professionals to build the capacity of FFNs.

Play is essential to the healthy development of children and adolescents. Play influences the development of fine and gross motor skills, language, socialization, personal awareness, emotional well-being, creativity, problem solving and learning ability. The goal of Spring Spruce Up is to ensure early learning environments are well equipped to stimulate the social, emotional and academic development of our youngest children. Learn More.

The Head Start ECLKC Building Resilience to Cope with Stress and Trauma
Ongoing research shows that adversity and high levels of stress in early childhood can have a negative impact on a person's life. Stress can affect a child's health, behavior, and ability to learn. However, adults can encourage resilience in young children and in themselves. Resilience is the ability to cope with the stress caused by challenging situations. Find resources below that can help caregivers and families understand the signs and dangers of stress in young children. Learn about strategies to promote resilience and support positive outcomes.

T he American Psychological Association (APA) Talking to kids about discrimination
Discussing discrimination can be hard enough for adults. Talking to kids about the subject can be especially daunting. Unfortunately, many people are uncomfortable discussing racial differences. But when it comes to talking to children, experts say diversity and discrimination are subjects that shouldn't be ignored.

​

Without guidance, children are likely to develop biased attitudes from exposure to negative racial stereotypes, racial disparities, and segregation. Take these steps for the children in your life to be inclusive and just.
