Palo Alto Community Child Care (PACCC) was created and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) organization in March 1974. Its mission is to serve as many families as possible and help to build the future of the community through its children. Over one-third of enrollment spots are designated for financial assistance through partners and PACCC’s fundraising efforts. In alignment with partners including the City of Palo Alto, Palo Alto Unified School District, California Department of Social Services, and California Department of Education, PACCC focuses on serving the current and future needs of Palo Alto’s families and works to eliminate barriers. In 2014, PACCC received the Tall Tree Award for Outstanding Nonprofit from the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce. The leadership team includes Chief Executive Officer Lee Pfab and Director of Programs Melissa Roth, along with regional coordinators Danielle Landucci, Danny Singh, Kandice Mitchell, and Melissa Baldovinos, and additional administrative and support staff.
