The Child Care Initiative Project provided training and support to 42 child care providers and quality early learning tools and resources to 38 Friend, Family and Neighbor (FFN) informal providers.Total program expenses were $31,478. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Indirect Revenue and Expenses - Costs that benefit the operations of the entire organization are allocated according to an indirect cost allocation plan. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Stage 1 or CalWORKS Program: CalWORKS primary purpose is to enable eligible families to accomplish their approved activity, so they can become self-sufficient over the long-term. The Napa County Health and Human Services Department determines which families are eligible for a payment assistance voucher. When a CalWORKs participant is eligible to receive child care services, a referral is sent to Community Resources for Children. CRC works with CalWORKS families to connect them to child care. The Alternative Payment Program then reimburses the child care provider directly for the hours of eligible care used by the family. During 2018-2019, CalWORKS payment assistance was provided to 79 families and 54 children. The majority of these children, most likely, also participated in one of the CDE-funded Alternative Payment Programs; however, they have only been counted here.Total program expenses were $204,146.”

“Quality Counts and Early Learning Programs:Quality Counts provides information, resources, and support at no cost to early care and education programs, including family child care homes serving children ages 0-5. The program goal is to enhance the quality of learning programs and to acknowledge the effort of early childhood professionals to provide optimum learning environments and experiences for the children in our county. There are currently over 44 family child care providers, centers and alternative sites participating in Quality Counts serving more than 1,800 children. Over the past year, participants of Quality Counts have received on-site coaching, quality improvement plans, incentive materials to support quality learning environments and access to free training/workshops for providers. The Active Minds program is a bilingual, play-based school readiness program for children ages 2 to 4 and their parents/caregivers. Active Minds prepares under-served children to enter Kindergarten by emphasizing parent/caregiver coaching and training. Parents/caregivers are required to participate along with their children; their participation brings sustainability to the program as parents/caregivers learn to engage and extend their learning at home. The program utilizes evidence-based practices (Ages & Stages Questionnaire 3 and the Desired Results Developmental Profile) to address the language, cognitive, physical and social/emotional developmental needs of children to prepare them to succeed in school and in life. In 2018-2019, 42 children and 37 parents/caregivers participated in the program. The Toy Library and Early Learning Center (TLELC) provides a safe, enriching and inspiring venue for families and caregivers to seek advice about their childs development and access early learning resources to support their childs learning and developmental growth. Quality toys and early learning materials are available for loan at no cost to families and early childhood educators. The organizational system in the TLELC is based on the ASQ developmental domains (social/emotional, thinking skills, communication and literacy, and fine and gross motor skills development) and age appropriateness, creating a research-based selection of toys and early learning materials. CRC staff are available to provide developmental screenings using the ASQ-3 and create Individual Development Support Plans that allow parents/caregivers to match their children's developmental needs with toys and materials. The focus of the TLELC is on modeling age appropriate activities for effective adult-child engagement up until age 5. In 2018-2019 the Toy Library and Early Learning Center served 489 children and 328 parents/caregivers. Total program expenses were $404,888.”
