About Us
As the number of single parent and dual career families escalates, so too does the number of children needing before and after childcare. Finding quality and affordable childcare is an ongoing problem for Irvine's working parents.
Irvine Children’s Fund
The Irvine Children’s Fund is a non-profit community support organization, whose mission is to raise funds to help parents meet the before and after school child care needs for children on Irvine elementary school sites and to provide child care scholarships. The Irvine Children’s Fund has contributed $230,928 toward the expansion and major maintenance of childcare facilities.
Irvine Junior Games
The Irvine Children's Fund has made before and after school childcare scholarships a priority for low-income working families in Irvine. Since 1993, the Irvine Children's Fund has provided $1,085,121 to fund these needs.
The Irvine Child Care Project
(ICCP) was established through a joint powers agreement between the City of Irvine and the Irvine Unified School District (IUSD) in 1984. Under the direction of the ICCP, modular facilities have been placed on Irvine elementary school sites to provide before and after school childcare for children in grades kindergarten through sixth. The ICCP selects and monitors the non-profit childcare providers who operate the individual programs. In addition, ICCP was awarded a $420,000 grant from the California Department of Education, Child Development Division this year to provide childcare scholarships.
