The Child Care Planning and Advisory Council (CPAC) is San Francisco’s state mandated local planning council (LPC) established to provide a forum for the identification of local ECE priorities and the development of policies and strategies that meet the needs of children, families, and providers.
CPAC General Meetings are open to the public and provide important updates from CPAC’s committees, public agencies, key stakeholders and the early care and education community. Throughout the year there are interesting presentations on subjects that are pertinent to the early education field.
ECESF representatives serve on the Executive Committee and Chair the Workforce Committee and AdHoc on the Black Child. We hold evening ECESF meetings to make sure information from meetings such as CPAC is shared with the ECE educator community—and that your needs and visions are brought to policy meetings.

SF ECE Advocacy Coalition Meetings
2023-12-13 16:00 - 17:00, 2024-01-10 16:00 - 17:00, 2024-01-24 16:00 - 17:00, 2024-02-14 16:00 - 17:00, 2024-02-28 16:00 - 17:00, 2024-03-13 16:00 - 17:00
The SF ECE Advocacy Coalition meets twice monthly on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, from 4 – 5 pm.
ECESF led the passage of Prop C (2018) as well as the early release of funds blocked by the lawsuit through the successful passage of Prop F (2020). To strengthen our work, we worked in coalition with partners, including Parent Voices, R&Rs, and other individual and organizational community members. Once Prop C passed we led CPAC/OECE AdHoc committees to engage the community in planning the use of funds. From the planning work it was clear, while an estimated $120M annually was a fantastic victory, for our vision of an ECE for All that addresses equity needs and supports a stable workforce, these funds were not adequate.
ECESF and Children’s Council committed to ongoing work to maintain a coalition bringing ECESF educators together with families, engaged agencies, and community members to build campaigns to win ECE for All. The SF ECE Advocacy Coalition was born out of that process, with ECESF as a primary leader focused on bringing ECE educators to the coalition table.
