Child and Adult Care Food Program

Children are our passion at The Planning Council, because we know the future really does lie in their hands. So, how we nurture, educate, and care for the youngest citizens in our community matters.

The Planning Council’s work for children focuses on quality childcare, including recruiting, training, and registering childcare providers. From helping childcare providers serve healthy and nutritious meals through the USDA’s Food Program to assisting providers achieve the next level of quality childcare ratings, our staff is dedicated to helping children thrive and succeed.

Helping Childcare Providers Succeed

The Planning Council works closely with childcare providers in much of Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. So, depending on where you’re located, The Planning Council can help you reach the next level in the quality of your childcare program.
