In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department subcontracts with a number of community-based organizations. Approval of this contract will allow the provision of vital preschool and childcare services to 36 program eligible children in Contra Costa County.

Since at least 2015, Little Angels Country School, LLC, has been providing State Preschool services for the County. In recent years, on September 10, 2019 (C. 120), the Board of Supervisors approved a contract with with Little Angels Country School, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $217,880, to provide State Preschool services, for the term July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. Subsequently, a contract amendment was approved on September 8, 2020 (C. 96) to increase the payment limit to $240,128 with no change to the term. On October 20, 2020 (C. 74), the Board of Supervisors approved a contract with Little Angels Country School, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $224,928, to provide State Preschool services, for the term July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. On June 22, 2021 (C. 72), the Board approved a contract renewal with Little Angels Country School, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $214,704, to provide State Preschool Services, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

This Board Order will approve another contract renewal, subject to County Counsel approval as to form, with Little Angels Country School, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $321,829 to provide State Preschool services, for the term July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability through partnership with community based agencies.
