Costa
County
Subject:First Baptist Church 2009-10 Childcare Services Contract
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families
(ACF) to provide Head Start and Early Head Start services to program eligible County
residents. Contra Costa also receives funds from California Department of Education (CDE)
to provide State Preschool services to program eligible County residents.
The Board approved receipt of funds from ACF on September 16, 2008. The receipt of
funds from CDE was approved on July 7, 2009.
In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department
contracts with a number of community-based organizations. Approval of this contract will
allow the provision of Head Start program enhancement services to twenty (20) program
eligible children and families; Early Head Start enhancement services to fourteen (14)
program eligible children and families. Part-day State Preschool services will be provided to
forty (40) program eligible children; full-day State Preschool services will be provided to
twenty (20) program eligible children. State Pre-kindergarten family literacy services will
be provided to forty (40) program eligible children and families. State General Childcare
and Development services will be provided to sixteen (16) program eligible children. Given
the current State budget crisis, it is feasible that the State funded portion of the contract may
be subject to reduction, based on the outcome of the State budget process.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports
three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and
Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and,
Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved
by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education,
nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
