“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 30 family child care providers, centers and alternative sites participating in Quality Counts serving more than 2,500 children. Over the past year, participants of Quality Counts have received onsite 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 underserved 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 2017-2018, 41 children and 29 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 2017-2018 the Toy Library and Early Learning Center served 404 children and 246 parents/caregivers.Total program expenses were $318,439.”
