Established in 1987, the California Childcare Health Program is a community-based program of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Nursing, Department of Family Health Care Nursing. The multidisciplinary team trains professionals on health and safety issues related to early care and education settings, supports a statewide child care health consultation network, and conducts research. They produce a wealth of materials on health and safety in early care and education settings for professionals and families and part of their mission statement is to promote the inclusion of children with special needs and the elimination of barriers to their inclusion in all types of early childhood programs.
