Napa County UPK Forum – May 17, 2022 (external website, new window) 

The Council was established in 1991 in accordance with state law Assembly Bill 2141 to provide a forum for the identification of local priorities for child care and to develop policies to meet the needs identified within these priorities. Increased funding and expanded mandates were awarded in 1998 during the implementation of CalWORKS and Assembly Bill 1542. These mandates include:

  • Conducting a local child care needs assessment
  • Submitting a countywide comprehensive child care plan to the County Superintendent of Schools, County Board of Supervisors, and State Department of Education
  • Establishing local priorities for child care funding, according to State policy and guidance
  • Enhancing collaboration and partnerships in the child care community to meet local needs

The local planning council (LPC) is sanctioned by the Napa County Board of Supervisors and Napa County Superintendent of Schools, and is governed by State mandates, Council Bylaws, and the Brown Act (external website, new window).  The LPC endeavors to convene all those concerned with child care issues in community forums and meetings in order to improve and sustain valuable, quality child care programs and opportunities for families.

“Thanks to the great work of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) … jurisdictions across the nation dedicate a week in April to promoting and inspiring high-quality early childhood experiences for our nation’s youngest citizens, that can provide a foundation of learning and success. Parallel to the NAEYC, Napa County Child Care and Development Planning Council works to achieve a collective vision: one that all young children thrive and learn in a society dedicated to ensuring they reach their fullest potential.”
