OCAEYC
OCAEYC is a critical part of the early childhood education system in Orange County. We work with our partners to make sure you have access to quality training and information, a professional and social network of early educators, and local savings and services. Most of all, we are working to create a community of leaders that will keep you connected, inspired, and supported. Thank you for nurturing and educating Orange County’s youngest children. The work that you do is extremely critical to the future of this community.

Childcare During COVID-19
Early Childhood OC is maintaining a list of open child care sites for essential workers during the COVID-19 crisis.
The searchable database features child care centers and family child care homes that are currently open and serving children from birth through age 12. The site, which includes resources for payment assistance, will be updated every Friday. If you are a Childcare provider who is currently open and would like to be added to the database, please contact Early Childhood OC.
