Our Mission: To empower and promote the well-being of families, child care providers, and the greater community through financial and support services.

For 50 years, CDA has been creating opportunities for Southern California families to thrive. We’re a community-based, non-profit agency with over 320 employees dedicated to creating positive change in our local community. We offer affordable and reliable child care services to eligible families and nutrition reimbursement to licensed family child care homes.

Child Care Payment Program
We provide child care reimbursement for children in San Diego County to the provider of the parent’s choice. This program allows eligible parents to choose the type of care they feel best meets the needs of their family. As a result, parents are able to work, look for work, or go to school. This program currently serves 17,773 children, 9,462 families, and collaborates with 4,158 child care providers.

Nutrition Program
CDA is the largest sponsor of the Federal USDA Child Care Food Program in the State of California. This program reimburses child care providers for the nutritious meals they serve to the children in their care. In the last year, CDA trained and reimbursed over 1,026 family child care providers who serve over 3.6 million meals to children annually, enabling them to grow up healthy and develop nutritious eating habits for life. 

Supplemental Rate Payment Program
In October 2023, CDA was contracted by the California Department of Social Services to issue the one-time Transitional Subsidy Payments and Cost of Care Plus Rate Payments to over 5,000 eligible Stage One and Bridge Program child care providers in 24 California counties.
