- AB 212 Child Development Staff Retention Funds
Funds are provided to Child Care and Local Development Planning Councils (LPCs) for child care staff retention activities to retain qualified staffs who work directly with children in ELCD-contracted centers or family child care home education networks. The LPCs develop countywide plans in accordance with approved guidelines and submit these plans to the ELCD for review and approval.

There are currently LPCs representing each county in California.
