LA County’s Office for the Advancement of Early Care and Education (OAECE) Releases Blueprint to Support County’s Infant/Toddler Care System
In 2023, the LA County Board of Supervisors approved a motion directing the Department of Public Health – Office for the Advancement of Early Care and Education (OAECE) to develop a blueprint with the goal of strengthening LA County’s Infant/Toddler Care System. Informed by an extensive input process, the LA County Infant/Toddler Early Care and Education System Blueprint is intended to be a tool to inform the LA County Board of Supervisors, ECE advocates, and programs, as well as provide recommendations for elected officials during legislative sessions and be a guide for philanthropy to inform investment strategies. The Blueprint will also serve as a foundational document for developing the next Los Angeles County Unified Early Care and Education Strategic Plan 2025-2030.
