EQUITABLE ACCESS

Every child and family can access the resources, opportunities, and supports they need to thrive.

​THRIVING FAMILIES

Families have the stability, relationships, and resources to raise healthy, resilient children and build fulfilling lives.

STRONG SYSTEMS

Systems are coordinated, responsive, and sustainable, working together to meet the changing needs of children and families.

VIBRANT COMMUNITIES

Every community creates the conditions for children and families to belong, connect, contribute, and thrive.

Child care touches every part of our community—from families and employers to schools and our local economy. That's why lasting solutions require all of us working together.

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.
