The lack of accessible, affordable childcare is a national crisis and Clackamas County is no exception. Our country has long experienced a shortage of affordable childcare options: there are simply not enough program slots to accommodate local families and the cost of available slots are often too burdensome for working parents.

Over the course of the past 18 month, the Child Care for All Steering Committee has been working to put together a plan to provide better, more inclusive access to child care in Clackamas County. In partnership with Children Family Community Connections and Morant McLeod, a draft report and recommendations is available to review.
