RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Little Angels Country Day School LLC to pay the county an amount not to exceed $39,000 to provide food services to the childcare program at Little Angels Country Day School for the period February 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No net County costs.

Little Angels Country Day School has agreed to reimburse the County, up to the limits of the California Child and Adult Food Program, for food service expenses related to this contract. The County will provide breakfast, lunch and snack to up to 50 children at the rate of $3.54 per day per child.

BACKGROUND:

Little Angels Country Day School preschool program offers Head Start and State Preschool program services through contract with the Community Services Bureau (CSB). The preschool provides services to low-income children in East Contra Costa County. CSB will provide meals to the program that meet the Head Start performance standards and USDA meal guidelines. Little Angels Country Day School will pay $3.54 per meal and the Department will seek reimbursement from California Child and Adult Food Program for the remaining cost per meal.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will be unable to provide food services to its childcare partner.

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.
