Publication Date

It is unlikely U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will carry out immigration enforcement operations at an early childhood education center, childcare facility, or First 5 site. Nonetheless, it is important for facilities to have policies that address the concerns of the parents, families, and communities they serve. Accordingly, the ILRC put together model policies for early childhood education centers, childcare facilities, or First 5 sites in California. The model policies are meant to serve as a menu of options to choose from and adopt as relevant for your specific site. These policies can be incorporated into existing policies and do not need to be adopted in their entirety.
