Director 40 Douglas Drive Martinez, CA 94553 Tel 925 313 1551 Fax 925 313 1772 www.cccounty.us/ehsd To: David Twa, Contra Costa County Administrator From: Kathy Gallagher, EHSD Director Subject: Monthly Report Date: August 2014 I. Good News Update/Accomplishments: CSB just concluded the program review of the annual Child Development audit. Over 60 Alternative Payment and State-funded child development files were reviewed as well as hundreds of attendance and reporting documents. Although the fiscal portion of the audit will continue in September, the preliminary report shows no areas of concern. The auditors commented on staff’s organization and prompt response to questions or needed documents. The Community College District has relinquished its California Department of Education contract to serve 151 preschool children through its subcontract with CSB. CSB has been the subcontractor for all services related to this contract since it was originally granted to the College District in 1993. On August 7 th CSB submitted a proposal to be a direct contractor of these services at four child care centers in zip codes 94520, 94804, 94565, and 94561. On July 29, CSB hosted Strengths Finders 2.0 training for thirty-nine (39) staff, Policy Council and EOC members. Darick Simpson, Executive Director of the Long Beach Community Action Partnership, facilitated this training, which provided participants with in-depth knowledge and how to use their strengths for success in their personal, educational and professional lives. Just as CSB uses a strength-based approach in working with families, our focus is to do the same with our staff. Two future trainings for all supervisors is scheduled for late October. Director Camilla Rand and Division Manager Katharine Mason are scheduling Validation Visit preparation meetings with each Board member to review the targeted questions that will be asked of the Board as well as pertinent documentation as it related to the upcoming review. Crescent Park center has now reopened. Corrine Williams-Lindsey, Site Supervisor, has been diligently working with staff to enhance the classroom environment and the facility. The full day classroom is fully enrolled and the 40 part day/part year Head Start children will begin on September 2nd. Marsh Creek and Riverview are preparing for their upcoming National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accreditation visits. CSB has partnered with El Concilio, a new Migrant Head Start center adjacent to the Los Nogales center in Brentwood to provide nutritious lunch and snacks to the children in that program. All teachers and Site Supervisors received training on the Ages and Stages Social Emotional Screening Tool and it is now fully implemented with families. II. Status Updates: a.

Hot Topics/Concerns/Issues: CSB Director, Camilla Rand, met with Terrance Cheung from Supervisor Gioia’s office and Cheryl Vaughn from Solar Richmond to discuss the future of the Ruth Powers building in Richmond. The former Rosie the Riveter building has been deemed a historic monument and is owned by the County. Renovations to the building are estimated at $5 million. IV. Emerging Issues/New Challenges: CSB’s PIR report is due to the Office of Head Start August 15. This annual report which is read and reviewed by Congress quantifiably measures the success of each program nation-wide in several indicators including, child and family outcomes, health, and teacher qualifications. CSB’s Head Start and Early Head continuation grant is due September 30. This is year three of five and includes updates from this year and service plans for year four. cc: Policy Council Chair Family & Human Services Committee Shirley Karrer, ACF 1 2345 DESCRIPTION Total % YTD Actual Budget Remaining YTD a.

Updated HS SR Goals 7/25/14 Community Services Bureau (CSB) Head Start School Readiness Goals 2013-2014 Community Services Bureau (CSB) will promote school readiness in partnership with families by implementing a research based curriculum that supports children’s development of the skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to be successful in school. CSB’s curriculum design provides a sound foundation for implementing a strong school readiness program based on the domains of the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework (CDELF), and California Preschool Learning Foundations. CSB uses the California State mandated assessment tool, Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP 2010) to evaluate children’s progress three times a year. The program for children aged birth to five supports measureable skill development across the five domains of the Head Start CDELF that will enable them to successfully learn and be ready for school. CSB collaborates with local school districts to ensure that children and families successfully transition from Head Start to community schools. The inclusion of children of all abilities and home languages are embedded throughout CSB planning and practice. School Readiness Goals and Alignment Strategies and Implementation Measurable Outcomes Mid-Year Update Year-End Update Domain: Social and Emotional Development 1. Children will engage in and maintain positive peer relationships and interactions. 1. Staff will use positive strategies to guide children’s behavior and help them learn how to express their feelings and resolve conflicts in constructive ways. 2.

This curriculum design provides a foundation for implementing a strong school readiness program based on Head Start’s conceptual framework for programs serving infants and toddlers and their families, the Program for Infant Toddler Care guidelines, and the California Infant Toddler Learning and Development Program Guidelines. CSB uses the California State mandated assessment tool, Desired Results Developmental Profile for Infants and Toddlers (DRDP IT 2010) to evaluate children’s progress three times a year. The CSB Early Head Start program supports children’s skill development across the five essential domains of the Head Start Child Development Early Learning Framework. This enables infants and toddlers to successfully participate in the infant or toddler classroom and later, in preschool. To provide continuity of care, CSB collaborates with other Head Start, preschool programs and local school districts to ensure that children and families successfully transition from EHS to Head Start or other preschool programs. The inclusion of children of all abilities and home languages is embedded throughout CSB practices. 2 Updated 7/25/14 EHS Strategies and Implementation Measurable Outcomes Mid-Year Update Year-End Update Domain: Language Development and Literacy Knowledge and Skills Goals 1.
