The California
Child Care Resource and Referral Network coordinates services
that assist local child care resource and referral agencies in providing
child care information and services to parents, child care providers,
policy makers, and business and community leaders in every county.
Policy Analysis for California Education
(PACE) at UC Berkeley has worked with the Network and GreenInfo
to create the Child
Care Indicators and California Child Care Supply Maps, a series
of zip-code level supply and demand maps that display selected child
care indicators from the UC PACE report, "The 1998 Child Care
Indicators: Volume 1."

"High quality, accessible and affordable child care is a critical
priority that addresses the work and life needs of all members of
the university community."
—President Atkinson
In March 2001, UC launched a new child care facilities initiative
to expand the services available to students, faculty and staff.
The matching fund proposal, which taps non-state funds from UC's
systemwide office, will help the university to begin to meet demand
estimated by a UC childcare task force report to be more than twice
the number of spaces now available.
UC currently serves approximately 1,500 children in its own centers
and another 500 in vendor-operated centers run in cooperation with
the university, according to the September 2000 report.
UC's centers are located on or near university property and serve
the children of our students, staff, and faculty and, in some instances,
members of the community as well.
UC child care services are of high quality, providing all mandated
service components of educational programs appropriate to the developmental
needs of young children, including staff development, parent involvement
and education, health and social services, community involvement,
and nutrition.
