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.
