Child Care Priorities

The Priority Setting Process

The Council develops priorities for funding using data from the following sources: 

  • Census zip code data and American Community Survey data as a baseline to estimate the number of children eligible for State Funded Services (and Head Start). Other pertinent local data, such as county growth factors, planning department data, or school district growth data, is then applied to achieve the most accurate estimate. 

  • CDE and other available zip code level data to determine the number and percent of eligible children served/not served by State or Federally Funded Services 

  • California Academic Performance Index, Smarter Balanced Assessment, or other School Performance Data or Child Outcome Data 

The data is then analyzed and high-need zip codes assigned a Priority 1, 2, and 3 number with Priority 1 being the highest need.
