The County receives funds from the California Department of Education to provide state preschool general childcare services to program eligible County residents. The program is operated by the Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau. The first agreement amendment added $127,045 to the 2014-15 allocation; increased the corresponding Child Days of Enrollment from 64,762 to 65,196; and increased the maximum daily rate from $34.38 to $36.10 per child day of enrollment. The Board approved the first amendment to accept additional funding on December 9, 2014. This second amendment is to accept further funds and to revise accordingly the Child Days of Enrollment. The Department sought to transfer funds from the California State Preschool Program to the General Childcare and Development program in an effort to better meet community need for Infant/Toddler childcare services, as identified in the Department's Community Assessment. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If not approved, County will not receive funding to operate the childcare & development program. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: The Department of Education General Childcare & Development funding supports three of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; 3) "Families that are Economically Self-sufficient"; and, 4) "Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing" by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
