ANNUAL SNAPSHOT FY 22-23

Back to school

To help children prepare for the new school year, CCRC hosts an annual Back to School drive. Funds raised from our Laughs4Literacy comedy show allow us to purchase those materials. Each year, the agency hosts these distributions for over 1,000 families. Kids of all ages were excited to take home a backpack, books, and school supplies. Some even left our event with a fresh new haircut.

parent cafés

Parents were invited to join the conversation at our Parent Café on Social Emotional Vitality. Parenthood brings so much joy, laughter, smiles and all the good times that we all talk about. But nobody really talks about the challenges that we face with our children. The agency offers a safe space to share emotions and connect with other parents facing similar situations while learning tools and best practices.

policy forum

Systemic issues, siloed resources, and limited prevention efforts were three key focal points of CCRC’s Policy Forum discussion at California State University, Northridge and at California State University, San Bernardino in 2023. Experts in early learning and care presented innovative approaches to whole child and family well-being, the theme of this year’s forums to an in-person and virtual audience.

message from the CEo

Dr. Michael Olenick standing with his arms crossed.

Almost 50 years ago, CCRC began with a mission to connect families to child care providers. Now, our growing team of over 1,100 professionals work collaboratively to overcome challenges and seek opportunities to provide culturally and linguistically responsive programs and services. Today, CCRC brings hope and stability to 75,000 children, families and child care providers across 22,500 square miles of northern Los Angeles County and all of San Bernardino County.

The 2022-2023 annual snapshot highlights the work we accomplished while rebounding from the pandemic, rising inflation and the continuing struggle for parents and caregivers to succeed.

Internally, the agency grew by 20% and we promoted 161 employees, and we developed a new company wide system with a focus on core competencies and key performance indicators that guide each staff member’s work. We also increased compliance training and fine-tuned procedures to comply with regulatory requirements and manage operational changes.

RESEARCH & POLICY

CCRC’s research and advocacy efforts directly impact the well-being of California children and families, and the early care and learning workforce. We work collaboratively across the state to research, problem-solve, and communicate barriers and solutions through ongoing program work, visits to legislative offices, convenings, and our annual Policy Forums.
