Quality Child Care: Playing a Role in San Mateo County
The county has made quality child care and early learning programs a priority.
Henry Ward Beecher said, "Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven."
If you have a passion for children, the San Mateo County Child Care Partnership Council (CCPC), the local organization that takes the lead in planning and advocating for quality care and early education for all children from birth to age 14, is seeking applicants for three openings on the 22-member council.
The three vacancies announced are as follows: Child Care Consumer Category (parents or persons who receive or have received child care services within the past 36 months), Child Care Provider Category (persons who provide child care services or represent persons who provide child care services), and Public Agency Category (persons who represent a city, a county, state or federal government, or a local education agency).
Child Care Partnership Council members are asked to commit to six council meetings per year and active committee work over the four-year term of office, as well as a commitment to leadership in assisting San Mateo County in providing for quality child care and early learning programs. The County Board of Supervisors and the County Superintendent of Schools select and appoint members to the Council.
