The Allegheny County Department of Children Initiatives (DCI) aims to utilize data and geographic information to inform internal decision making, share information regarding DCI-funded programs with the public, and position DCI as a regional resource for youth service-related data and analytics.

Allegheny County Child Care Matters Pilot Program

Access to stable, regulated early learning and out-of-school time programs is critically important for both children’s development and family stability, though many families in Allegheny County struggle to access the care they need. To address these challenges and better support working families, DCI launched the Allegheny County Child Care Matters (ACCM) Pilot Program in 2022. The ACCM Pilot Program was created to support equitable access to stable, regulated child care to allow working families to maintain or increase their participation in the workforce.

The report and executive summary of the ACCM Pilot Program include administrative data, focus groups with participating parents and providers, and a community advisory committee in support of the program and its impact within Allegheny County.
