The Child Care Alliance of Los Angeles is fortunate to share a long-term advocacy relationship with Senator Holly Mitchell.  This is why we're happy to convey to you our upcoming Public Service Advertising Campaign.

Together with Senator Mitchell and the California State Outdoor Advertising Association, the Child Care Alliance will feature the billboard pictured above at strategic locations within Los Angeles.

We are honored to announce that our very own Fiona Stewart was selected as a Master Leader by Child Care Exchange.  She is among 38 Master Leaders chosen as "Experienced Professionals who have proven themselves able leaders in their organization and who are taking leadership in building the profession and advocating for children and families."

Fiona is Program Director of the Child Care Alliance.  She oversees professional development programs such as  Gateways for Early Educators™, Race to the Top, Choose Health LA Child Care, Nemours Early Care and Education Learning Collaboratives and the ECE Workforce Registry.

We continue to deliver programs at the community level through our partner agencies.  As one example, the Child Care Alliance of Los Angeles has a successful partnership with the LA County  Department of Public Health.  The graphic below shows some specific results of this work for Fiscal Year 2014-15.

We are also working closely with our statewide early education groups such as the R&R Network, CCDAA, CAPPA and others to address important Legislative and Policy issues currently facing the Early Care & Education (ECE) field.

Most recently, we participated in statewide conversations around the provider reimbursement rate and how to address the Regional Market Rate and the Standard Reimbursement Rate.  As ideas continue to unfold and policy solutions are considered, we will share updates on this very important issue affecting subsidized families and providers throughout our system.
