The Community Partnerships for Children and Families is Queen Anne’s County’s Local Management Board. We are a division of the Queen Anne’s County Department of Community Services.

Members of the Local Management Board are appointed by the County Commissioners and form the body that serves as the main entity within the jurisdiction to ensure that our families have the services they need.

QAC Local Care Team

The Queen Anne’s County Local Care Team (LCT) strives to ensure that children and their families receive the necessary supports and resources to live in the community successfully. The LCT is a FREE service that works with parents, guardians and other adults on children’s behalf. The purpose is to open doors, brainstorm, share knowledge, advocate, and develop strategies to help your child thrive.
