AAP Chapter Child Care Contacts

Chapter Child Care Contacts (CCCC) are a network of pediatrician child care experts who can improve the health and safety of children in child care and engage parents in discussions about quality care and their options.

• Connecting with key state leaders and collaborating with others to implement Quality Rating and Improvement Systems.
• Educating policymakers on child care health and safety issues.
• Coordinating presentations for the child care community.
• Disseminating health and safety materials statewide.
• Comparing state child care regulations with AAP recommended guidelines and advocating for quality improvements.
