Subject:2014/15 We Care Services for Children State Preschool services contract amendment
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
which allowed provision of State Preschool services to 56 program-eligible children and families in Central Contra
Costa County, was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 24, 2014. This board order seeks to amend the
contract to increase the payment limit in order to pass through the increased daily rate provided by the State
Department of Education to the County. The daily rate has been increased from $19.53 to $20.50 per Child Day of
Enrollment for State Preschool and from $29.41 to $30.88 for General Childcare and Development.
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.
