a decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in California, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&Rs’
interactions with parents and providers.

The California Child Care PorTfolio2007
A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Amador County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

The California Child Care PorTfolio2007
A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Colusa County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in El Dorado County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Humboldt County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Kern County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Lassen County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Los Angeles County, as well as
relevant demographics about children and
families. The data reflects the most up to
date information available and comes from
a variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Marin County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Merced County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Monterey County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Orange County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Riverside County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

county data pages, visit www.rrnetwork.org.

is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in San Benito County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in San Francisco County, as well as
relevant demographics about children and
families. The data reflects the most up to
date information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in San Luis Obispo County, as well as
relevant demographics about children and
families. The data reflects the most up to
date information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Santa Clara County, as well as
relevant demographics about children and
families. The data reflects the most up to
date information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Sonoma County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

county data pages, visit www.rrnetwork.org.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Sutter County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Tulare County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.

A decade of data about child care in California counties Locally-based child care resource and referral
programs (R&Rs) are located in every county
in California. Their services have evolved
over 30 years—from a grassroots effort to
help parents find child care, to a well-
developed statewide system that supports
parents, providers, and communities to find,
plan for, and develop quality child care that
is affordable and accessible.
In 1997, following a two-year effort to
standardize the data collection of the 61
R&Rs across the state, the California Child
Care Resource & Referral Network launched
the first Child Care Portfolio, a report which
documented child care supply and demand,
and portrayed the trends and needs of real
families as they struggle to find appropriate,
quality care for their children, especially as
they juggle work and family. The Portfolio
has been produced biennially since that
time. The information presented here offers
a picture of the supply and demand for child
care in Yolo County, as well as relevant
demographics about children and families.
The data reflects the most up to date
information available and comes from a
variety of sources, including the R&R’s
interaction with parents and providers.
