Existing law, the Child Care and Development Services Act, administered by the State Department of Social Services, establishes a system of childcare and development services for children up to 13 years of age and their parents, including a full range of supervision, health, and support services through full- and part-time programs. Existing law sets forth the purposes of the act, which include, among other things, the provision of a comprehensive, coordinated, and cost-effective system of childcare and development services for children and their parents.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to establish the California Affordable Childcare Act.
