The Pennsylvania State Advisory Council (SAC) is now accepting applications for family and professional leaders interested in serving on one of the Council's five supporting subcommittees.
As outlined in the Governor's Executive Order, the SAC advises the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) on planning for the expansion and coordination of effective early learning and development services for young children and their families across the Commonwealth.

The five SAC subcommittees are:

1. Access to Programs

2. Child Care Certification and Quality Rating

3. Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging

4. Physical, Behavioral and Mental Health

5. Professional Development

Participation on an SAC subcommittee is an opportunity to help shape discussions, provide feedback, and support initiatives that impact Pennsylvania's early childhood education system, children, and families. The subcommittees serve as focused workgroups that provide specialized expertise, develop recommendations, and support the implementation of initiatives aligned with the Council's broader goals and priorities.

Family members, early childhood professionals, advocates, community partners, and system leaders are encouraged to apply.
