Subject:2013/14 First Baptist Church Kids' Castle childcare contract amendment #2
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Head Start services to program eligible County residents. Contra Costa also receives funds from the California
Department of Education (CDE) to provide State Preschool services to program eligible County residents. The State
requires an indemnification clause with County subcontractors wherein the subcontractor holds harmless the State
and its officers for any losses. In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department
contracts with a number of community-based organizations.
The Board approved the 2013/14 contract with First Baptist Church of Pittsburg, California on June 25, 2013; an
amendment was approved by the Board on September 25, 2013 to increase the number of slots available for State
Preschool program services. This amendment is to provide a further addition to the number of childcare slots.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability through partnership with
community based agencies.
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.
