Major Activities

Activity 2

Calworks stage 1 child care - under a contract with the los angeles county department of public social services (dpss), we administer a child care payment program for cash-aided families starting the transition from welfare to work. The goal of the program is to promote a family's economic self-sufficiency through employment and/or education/training that will lead to employment. We certify the family's eligibility for child care, assist them to look for and select child care, and make monthly payments for services rendered by child care providers they select to care for their children. We enrolled 6,553 families with a total of 10,251 children from birth to 12 years old, and made monthly child care payments to 5,307 licensed and license-exempt child care providers for their services to enrolled children.

Activity 3

Head start - under a grant with the department of health and human services, administration for children and families, we administer a head start program for 697 preschool aged children. The goal of the program is to promote school readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive development of the children and to support family engagement that leads to parents taking on or maintaining their role as the child's most influential teacher. The 3-5 year olds are served in either a part-day, full-day or home based program option. The program takes a "holistic" approach to the child and family that includes health, nutrition, mental health and social services that may be provided directly by us or through a collaborative effort of community referrals. A unique component of this program is the shared governance process where the agency's board of director shares many decision making responsibilities with a policy council that consists of parents from each of our 8 centers, a home based representative and community representatives. This supports the national head start requirement and the program's object of family empowerment and success.
