Maryland Committee for Children's Public Policy Committee

Advocacy for public policies that benefit Maryland's children and their families

Maryland Committee for Children (MCC) provides a voice for children and all those concerned with their well-being -- parents, child care providers, advocates, and community leaders. Through its strong public policy presence, MCC has helped to make Maryland one of the best states for early education and child care.
