Child Care Law Center

About This Office

The Child Care Law Center (CCLC) is a national nonprofit legal services organization that uses legal tools to make high quality, affordable child care available to every child, every family, and every community. We are the only organization in the country devoted exclusively to the complex legal issues that affect child care. Our diverse substantive work encompasses public benefits, civil rights, housing, economic development, regulation and licensing, and land use. CCLC is a legal resource for the local, state, and national child care communities, and we serve as a legal resource for local legal services programs on child care issues in California. Our primary clients are families and children. We also engage in legal and policy advocacy and offer training and information to parents, non-profit child care centers, family child care providers, policy makers, community, and government agencies. We work in collaboration with legal services and other public interest advocates who directly serve children, families, and child care providers.
