Mission:
The Child Care Improvement Project is a system of community-based networks of family child care providers joined together to promote high quality child care, build and sustain economic success, and partner with parents to support children in achieving their full potential.

Vision:
CCIP envisions:
• Increasing the number of quality child care providers through the provision of support to operate successful businesses and increase earnings from child care, master effective child development strategies, and strengthen connections to parents and communities.
Increasing the percentage of children whose child care experiences prepare them to achieve their full potential through readiness for school.
• Increasing the number of parents who build strong partnerships with their child care providers, which enable them to work with confidence and security.
• Development of effective child care public policy at the state and local level which supports parents ability to maintain employment, children's ability to achieve their full potential, and retention of quality child care providers.
