CHILD CARE: AMERICA WOULDN'T WORK
WITHOUT IT! The Delaware Valley Child Care Council
was formed in 1985 to provide a problem-solving forum for
day care issues in our region. DVCCC is a non-profit
organization composed of parents, representatives of
unions, business and government leaders in all five
counties, and child care professionals, all of whom have
a stake in the child care delivery system. We serve the
five counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia.
The mission of the Delaware Valley Child
Care Council is to champion the cause of affordable,
accessible, quality child care for all children and their
families who have such a need, and to foster broad-based
understanding of the importance of child care and its
social and economic impact on our community and its
citizens. Our objectives:
- Raise public awareness
- Increase collaborative efforts
- Shape public policy
- Support efforts to improve quality through
adequate training, compensation and resources
Council accomplishments include: Help for
families in need of child care through publication of
references on funding and how to access the system. Help
