Guidance for Child Care Facilities on Complying with AB 495
ALL IN for Safe Schools and Bringing Up California have partnered to create a fact sheet that walks providers through what The Family Preparedness Plan Act (AB 495) means for their programs, what it requires, and how to build safe, welcoming spaces for all children and families — regardless of immigration status.
The fact sheet should be used in conjunction with a comprehensive training that walks professionals through this law. Watch the recording of our AB 495 webinar for early care and education providers in English and Spanish, and view the webinar’s slide decks in English and Spanish.

How to Create Safe Spaces in Early Care and Education for Children in Immigrant Families
ALL IN for Safe Schools, Bringing Up California, CLASP and the Child Care Law Center created this resource for California’s early care and education providers. The one-pager “How to Create Safe Spaces in Early Care and Education for Children in Immigrant Families” offers ECE providers a concise, practical guide for implementing safe-space guidance into site policies to support the safety, confidence and well-being of children in immigrant families. This fact sheet highlights the rights of ECE sites and the families they serve, and clarifies what immigration agents must show to gain legal access to ECE sites.
