In January 1988, the Kern County Board of Supervisors established the Kern County Commission on Child Care. It was created to advise the Board of Supervisors on all matters relating to child care with a major focus on identifying service gaps and providing recommended solutions.

On July 1, 1998, the Kern County Board of Supervisors re-constituted the Commission on Child Care. As a result, the name of the new Planning Council became the Kern County Child Care Council as it remains today.

Although new language on governing local child care planning councils is found in the welfare reform legislation, the purpose and scope of the Local Child Care and Development Planning Council (LPC) goes beyond child care programs funded by the federal block grant. LPCs are intended to serve as a forum to address the child care needs of all families in non-subsidized child care.
