Child Action

Child Action We're a non-profit empowering families and child care professionals with the tools and support services needed to successfully care for children since 1976.

We believe that parents are best able to choose the child care that meets their particular family situation. It is our goal to provide parents with information on a broad range of child care services, as well as ways to assess these services. We can provide information about child care and child development services as it is available, but we do not make recommendations. The choice of care remains with the parent. We are not responsible for arrangements between parents and providers.

A CNN poll found that 92% of adults with children under 18 believe child care is expensive. For too many families, that cost can put quality care out of reach.

Child Action helps Sacramento County families find child care and access financial assistance, but the need extends far beyond those currently served. Every family deserves access to affordable, quality child care that allows children to thrive and parents to work, learn, and build a stronger future.

What does child care investment actually look like in our communities?

Every investment tells a story, and now you can explore it for yourself.

Our Investments Data Tool makes it easy to explore how child care resources are distributed across the region. View investments by community and legislative district, explore provider supply and demographic data, and see how public investments are helping meet local needs.

Whether you're a parent, provider, policymaker, advocate, or community partner, this interactive tool helps turn data into insight.

What a slime-tastic afternoon! 🧪💙

Thank you to everyone who joined us for North Sacramento Family Resource Center’s Slime Time Workshop in partnership with us. From mixing and stretching slime to exploring hands-on science and sensory play, it was wonderful to see so many children and families learning, creating, and having fun together.

We're grateful to North Sacramento Family Resource Center for partnering with us to provide engaging opportunities that help children learn through play and connect families with community resources.

For 50 years, child care providers have been changing lives, one child at a time.

They build lasting relationships with children and families, create safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive, and continue showing up every day despite the many challenges they face.

For decades, we've been proud to support providers through training, resources, and programs that help strengthen their businesses so they can continue serving children and families across our community.

As part of our video series celebrating Child Action's 50th anniversary, we're honored to share a preview of their stories and the incredible impact they've had on children, families, and our community.
