The 2024 Early Care and Education Facilities Study (ECEFS) provides data and strategies to meet our communities’ anticipated need for ECE facilities. This study comprises two sections: (i) a county-wide ECE facilities needs assessment, cost estimate, and financing options, and (ii) a broader discussion of facilities planning and design, summaries of various ECE case studies of policies and program efforts, and a set of recommendations.

2017 Early Learning Facilities Study
The 2017 Early Learning Facilities Study found that there were nearly 32,000 children ages 0-5 years in ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ Clara County that are in need of, yet did not have access to, licensed, quality childcare; a crisis in access that disproportionally affects families who reside in ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ Clara, San Jose, Morgan Hill, San Martin and Gilroy. Early care and education providers cited lack of space, issues finding a site, lack of local or state funding, issues obtaining a license, and local zoning and land use restrictions as the primary barriers to the early learning facility expansion and renovation that is needed to address this access issue.​
