APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with KinderCare Learning Centers LLC to increase the payment limit by $183,999 to a new payment limit of not to exceed $254,999, to add 16 childcare slots for Early Head Start Childcare Partnership program services and 16 childcare slots for State General Childcare Development, with no change to the term of December 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start and Early Head Start program services to program eligible County residents. The Employment and Human Services Department, in turn, contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide a wider distribution of services. The original contract with KinderCare Learning Center LLC was to provide Early Head Start Childcare Partnership program services by funding 16 childcare program slots for children ages 0 to 3 years. The original contract was for $71,000 and did not require a board order. This board order is to approve adding $183,999 to the contract for 16 additional childcare slots and start up funding for the Early Head Start Childcare Partnership program and to add funds for 16 childcare slots in the State General Childcare and Development program.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be able to fund additional childcare slots and start up funds for it's community based agency partner, KinderCare Learning Centers LLC.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and 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.
