RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Orantes, LLC dba Tiny Toes Preschool and Childcare Center in an amount not to exceed $106,504.85 to provide State Preschool and State General Child Care & Development Programs for the period October 01, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is 100% funded by state funds from the State of California Department of Education General Childcare and Development.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) Child Development program to provide State Preschool and General Childcare and Development 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. This contract ensures Orantes, LLC dba Tiny Toes Preschool and Childcare has funding to fulfill the obligations for the contract term for 14 state slots for children ages birth to five years of age.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be able to fund the state childcare slots for its community based agency partner, Orantes, 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.
