The Tulare County Child Care Educational Program (TCCCEP), under the umbrella of the Tulare County Office of Education, is the Head Start agency that coordinates child care and child development services to low-income families in Tulare County.
TCCCEP operates varied services using co-located funds from federal, state and local funding sources. Services include child development centers, a Home-Based Program, a Family Child Care Network (including Migrant Head Start), alternative payment programs and a Resource & Referral program.
The majority of children in the child development centers and Home-Based programs are 3- to 5-year-olds. Families in these programs also receive support services which strengthen the child care services-education, health, nutrition, parent involvement, social services, special needs services and training/technical assistance.
