Local Child Care Planning Council History In October 1991, the United States Congress established a federal Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) through which each state was allocated funds to assist low-income families in obtaining child care and development services. Subsequently, California developed a State Plan which specified that local communities should have a voice in the appropriation and allocation of CCDBG funds. In the same year, AB 2141 authored by Assemblywoman Jackie Speier was passed. This bill requested each county to establish a Local Child Care and Development Planning Council (LPC) to identify priorities for CCDBG funds based on the needs of families. There are currently 58 individual planning councils representing each county in California. The primary mission of the LPCs is to plan for child care and development services based on the needs of families in the local community. Through collaborative efforts with other individuals and organizations, the LPCs also support the existing child care infrastructure by coordinating local services. Additionally, LPCs plan and determine local priorities for new state and federal funds. In order to be fully effective, councils are highly encouraged to strengthen the partnerships with both public and private organizations in each county. Through strong community partnerships, each group serves as a forum to address identified child care needs. For More Information
