This chartbook highlights the state of California's child care and development programs in light of its economic recovery and recent budget cuts. Recommendations to policymakers include: increasing funding to serve eligible families who are on waiting lists; raising the income eligibility limit for child care and state preschool; repealing the family fee for part-day state preschool; adopting flexible budgeting practices for CalWORKS child care; and increasing subsidized child care payment rates for both licensed and license-exempt providers.
