CCC’s Mission

Child Care Connection encourages the growth and development of quality care services in Inyo County by providing childcare options, education to parents, and support to families and childcare providers.

We provide early education, care, and support services to children, families, and child care providers. Our goal is to support parents in their role as their child’s first teacher and promote the future academic success of all children by offering the highest quality early education services. The Child Development Division is home to the following programs and more:
