Child Care Law Center

Child Care Law Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making child care a civil right. We educate, advocate, and litigate to ensure that policies are just and equitable for children, families, and providers. Our mission is to break down legal barriers standing between families in need and good, affordable child care. We help educate parents and child care providers, advise advocates and policymakers, provide legal information and referrals, and litigate high-impact cases. Our work encompasses federal and state subsidies, regulation and licensing, civil rights and disability, housing rights, and economic development and planning. We are committed to securing high-quality child care for every child, holding politicians accountable, building coalitions, defending children and families in targeted communities, fighting for gender and racial equity, making schools safer for children with disabilities, keeping children and their families together, and ensuring living wages for parents and child care providers.
