The Child Care Blueprint and BEACON Project: The Time to Make Meaningful Changes to Our Child Care System Is Now!

This session will introduce the Child Care Blueprint (CCBP), showcasing the vision, approach, and three overarching goals in response to the child care crisis in San Diego related to workforce support and retention, facility improvements and families’ access to care. The goals provide workforce development opportunities and reduce child care deserts to meet the unique and diverse needs of San Diego families. Strategic steps will explain how successful implementation of the Blueprint hinges on partnerships with key community stakeholders. The panel will describe the development process and share the status of implementation, such as the assembly of three work groups representing each of the Blueprint’s goals.

Available resources that supports the Child Care Blueprint’s goals will be shared, including ARPA funded programming. Time will be allocated for Q & A and feedback from the audience for ideas that support implementation.
