The Child Care Blueprint
The San Mateo County Child Care Blueprint is a community-informed, multi-year action plan for building a more affordable, accessible, and sustainable child care system. It brings together shared goals, practical strategies, and clear priorities to support families, strengthen the child care workforce, improve facilities, and coordinate lasting countywide action.
