RECOMMENDATION (S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Community Services Department Director or
designee to apply for and accept funding from the California Head Start
Association in the amount of$3,000 for an oral health initiative.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
California Head Start Association (CHSA) has funds available for oral health
training. Funds awarded will be reflected in an appropriation for FY 2005-06
budget. There will be no net County cost to this contract.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Department's Head Start program supports two of
Contra Costa County's community outcomes: "Children Ready for and
Succeeding in School" and "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.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Oral health is an important issue in Contra Costa County as many low-income
families encounter barriers to dental education and services. The proposed
project, "First Smiles Oral Health Parent Training" will provide training, materials
and dental supplies for up to seventy-five parents enrolled in Community Services
Department early education programs. Follow up evaluation and focus groups will
be conducted to measure success and identify program expansion options.
