Palo Alto Community Child Care

Palo Alto Community Child Care (PACCC) was created and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) organization, and in March 1974 the City Council approved a contract with PACCC which allocated funds for the various components of the Task Force Plan. The Plan called for the creation of a sick care program, an infant-toddler center, a preschool program, and two part-time centers. Other elements of the Plan included the licensing of 35 day care homes; the subsidizing of low-income children at two non-PACCC centers; and the hiring of the City Child Care Coordinator who would also serve as the Executive Director of PACCC. For the next ten years, PACCC operated seven child care programs, seven independent "affiliate" programs, and a network of 25 family child care ( www.paccc.com )
