Subject:2015-16 Contra Costa Child Care Council Early Head Start childcare services contract amendment
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
establishes a contract with Contra Costa Child Care Council to provide Home-based Early Head Start service to 52
pregnant women and/or children ages birth to four years old. Services are to be administered through the Contractor's
licensed Family Child Care providers to enhance the services provided in the Contractor's existing full-day programs.
The board approved the initial contract on March 31, 2015. This amendment is to add the provision of health and
safety facility improvements and safety monitoring services for the home care providers that are part of this contract.
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.
