The primary mission of the Child Care Planning Council is to promote quality early care and education while meeting the needs of children and families in Yuba and Sutter counties through partnerships and collaborations with the community.

Our Vision is accessible, affordable, quality early care and education for all children in Yuba and Sutter counties.
