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 is to provide 8 Early Head Start program slots for children ages birth to 3 years of age. This amendment ensures Orantes, LLC dba Tiny Toes Preschool and Childcare has funding to fulfill the obligations for the contract term by adding 14 state slots and eight additional Head Start Childcare Partnership Program slots.

As of June 18, 2020, this contract amendment has not yet been approved as to form by County Counsel or County Administrator's Office.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

This contract 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.
