In January 2009, the Board of Supervisors adopted Bridging Child Development and Related Service Sectors: A Policy Framework for Los Angeles County. The intent of the Policy Framework is to mobilize county departments and community stakeholders for the purpose of integrating child care and development services into all efforts aimed at supporting children, families and communities. The Office of Child Care - in partnership with the Policy Roundtable for Child Care, the Child Care Planning Committee, County departments and community stakeholders - is responsible for implementing the Policy Framework.
