RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Little Angels Country School LLC, to increase the payment limit by $22,248.80 to a new payment limit of $240,128 due to increased daily childcare rate and addition of Quality improvement funding, with no change to term July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is entirely State Funded by the California Department of Education.

BACKGROUND:

In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department subcontracts with a number of community-based organizations. The Board approved the current contract to provide preschool and childcare services to 36 program eligible children September 20, 2019 (c. 120). This amendment is to provide funding to pay for the increased daily childcare rate set by the state and to provide Quality Improvement funding to pay for the hiring of four additional staff to reduce adult to child ratios.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, Contractor will not be reimbursed at the increased daily childcare rate.

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.
