Our programs make quality child care possible—offering referrals, subsidies, training, and advocacy that support families, providers, and the Sacramento County community.
Building Stronger Child Care for Sacramento
When families can access affordable, quality care, children thrive, parents can work or study, and providers can grow their businesses. Our programs support this vision—connecting families and child care providers with the resources, training, and financial assistance they need to succeed.

Programs for Families
We support parents and guardians with resources that make quality child care affordable and accessible.
Through our child care subsidy program, eligible families can find affordable care—allowing parents to seek employment, maintain jobs, or pursue education, all while supporting their families.
Our referral specialists help you explore licensed providers—whether you need care near home, school, or work. You can also search our free referral database anytime to find child care options that fit your family’s needs. We also created enhanced referrals to create a custom care plan that supports children with disabilities or special needs in inclusive settings.
