The Child Care Action Council was founded in 1987 by a group of parents, child care professionals, employers, school & government representatives, and other community members concerned about the inadequacies in our community’s child care system.

CCAC currently serves parents & providers in Thurston, Grays Harbor, Mason, Kitsap, Jefferson, and Clallam counties.

Vision: Communities where children are the focus and we all work together to assure that:

• Quality child care is accessible for all who need it
• Professional development for child care providers results in high quality child care
• Communities are engaged in supporting child care and early learning
• Parent education is provided throughout communities 

To accomplish these goals, CCAC:

• Responds each year to thousands of families needing child care.
• Educates parents in evaluating the quality of their child’s care.
• Offers a variety of training opportunities for child care professionals.
• Helps to create new child care programs to fill unmet needs.
• Cooperates and encourages businesses to address their employees’ child care needs.
• Advocates for children and families on a state, local and federal level.
