Palo Alto Community Child Care (PACCC) was created and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) organization in March 1974. Since 1974, PACCC has pursued its non-profit mission of providing exceptional education and care for Palo Alto’s children, regardless of a family’s financial circumstances. Over one-third of enrollment spots are designated for financial assistance through partners and PACCC’s fundraising efforts.
The leadership team includes Chief Executive Officer Lee Pfab; Director of Programs Melissa Roth; Director of Administration Kristina Wilson; Human Resources Manager Erin Fox; Facilities Coordinator Dave Carlson; Enrollment Coordinator Jill Higareda; Subsidy Specialist Liz Valencia; Administrative Assistant Adrian Abesamis; and Regional Coordinators Danielle Landucci, Danny Singh, Kandice Mitchell, and Melissa Baldovinos, each overseeing specific centers. PACCC received the Tall Tree Award for Outstanding Nonprofit from the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce in 2014, and PACCC CEO Lee Pfab was announced as a Tall Tree Award winner for Outstanding Professional. The Palo Alto Community Fund awarded PACCC the Dave Mitchell Impact Grant.
In alignment with the City of Palo Alto, Palo Alto Unified School District, California Department of Social Services, and California Department of Education, PACCC is committed to serving the current and future needs of Palo Alto’s families and actively works to eliminate barriers. In 1989, afterschool care facilities were established at every elementary school site and PACCC became a major provider of school-age care. PACCC expanded programming to include transitional kindergarten (TK) afterschool care at its Kids’ Clubs in 2022 in collaboration with Palo Alto Unified School District, supported by the Palo Alto Community Fund through the Dave Mitchell Impact Grant. In 2023, PACCC opened 126 afterschool care spaces for PAUSD’s Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P).
