Public Policy & Guiding Principles
A subcommittee of the CCCCA that is composed of LPC Coordinators across California that meet regularly to review, discuss, and make recommendations on issues that impact children, families, and the ECE Workforce across California. The PPC analyzes policies, considers stakeholder needs, and helps guide decision-making to ensure actions align with long-term goals and public interests. In addition, the committee created the Guiding Principles of CCCCA that outlines the Public Policy efforts that are supported by the associations. The Guided Principles are reviewed annually and serve as the Public Policy Platform for CCCCA.
