AProv 10/86 CALIFORNIA STATE DEPAF -XT OF EDUCATION CHILD DEVELAPMENT DIVIa.LON CD -9725 (Rev. 10/85) PART B: DIRECT SERVICE PROGRAMS PLANNING is 7 1. Describe the community involvement in the development of and commitment to School Age Community Child Care Services Program. Twelve years ago, a group of parents went to the City Council requesting school age chid care. The City Council agreed to operate self-supporting programs designed in cooperation with schools and PTA groups. As the program grew and developed, the community and City involvement and commitment has increased. Local business groups, the recreation department, senior citizen groups, PTA, two school districts' administration and teaching staff, parents and the local reference and referral agency have played an active role in the development of this program and the need to expand the services to the population unable to pay full fee. 2. Describe your plan for coordination with the County Welfare Department and Resource and Referral Programs for the provision of extended day care services to participants in Greater Avenues For Independence (the recently enacted welfare reform law Chapter 1025/85), and to current and former AFDC recipients. In our twelve year history we have extablished a concise working relation- ship with both the Marin County Welfare Department and Project Care Reference and Referral Agency. They are aware of our quality program and currently send families to us. Tuition fees for the children are paid directly to the City of San Rafael by the County through various sources and by Project Care's scholarship fund. I expect these relationships to continue with the additional benefit of expanded program space and funds to subsidize the high cost of child care. -5- CALIFMNIA STATE DEPAr "7XT OF EDUCATION CHILD DEVELDPME NT DIVI, A CD -9725 (Rev. 10/85) 3. Following this page, insert the district's needs assessment which will be available from your school district on or about December 1, 1985. Discuss the assessment as it relates to the specific population you plan to serve. Provide additional needs assessment information to: A. Describe the target population of children and families to be served by the proposed program. The funds would be used to subsidize childcare costs for parents of school age children (5-11 years). Single parent families headed by females make up 19% of San Rafael's population; in the Bahia and Gallinas areas this number is as high as 46%. We will target children who currently have no afterschool supervision and children determined to be at risk. B. Discuss any special characteristics of the children, parents and community. The east San Rafael area serves as a point of entry to Marin County. -The population is culturally diverse: more than 20% are Hispanic, Asian or Black with a large number of non-English households. The 1980 census indicated lower income, a younger population, a very high unemployment rate, and 18.6% no -worker households in the east San Rafael area. This element of our program would provide quality childcare allowing many residents the opportunity to become an active part of society. C. Identify the number and ages/grades of children and their academic, recreational or other needs, as appropriate. We will provide care for 70-85 children ages 5 through 11. These are children who are left unsupervised daily. They have little parent or adult involvement in their lives. Parents are not in close communication with the schools and academic pursuits are often ignored. These children need a program with activities to assist their social, emotional, physical and personal development. This is the kind of program we have been offering for twelve years. With the necessary funding, we have the established skill and knowledge to meet the needs of this unserved population. -6- e. state your major program koala.

Objectives for the academic support component of our program are: - to provide homework and tutoring assistance to children - to be the communication link with the classroom teacher and the working parent. - to confer with school staff regarding children enrolled in the Children's Center - to work with school and parents to help guide children's academic success. - to provide opportunities for children to develop self-esteem and confidence in both academic and non-academic areas. - to provide program curriculum which enhances school curriculum and both stimulates and challenges children. ACTIVITIES 6. Describe your major program activities. Activities must be designed to be age appropriate and meet the developmental needs of each child. Describe linkage with community resources, including organized and supervised youth groups, to support educational, cultural and recreational activities. a. Academic Support (Tutoring, homework assistance, enrichment and extension of the school curriculum, motivation reinforcement of basic skills, etc.) The Program offers tutoring and homework assistance for children. Center staff maintains open communication with school staff on all children and is liaison for school and parent. Center curriculum includes enrichment programs in science, computers, music, etc., based on a needs assessment. The staff encourage the children to share school events, activities and curriculum. The staff provide many opportunities for children to experience success and develop confidence and self esteem which provide necessary support to take on academic challenge. The staff and program encourage the child's development, socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. —7— CALIFORNIA STATE DEP 'NW OF EDUCATION CHILD DEVEIAP!£NT DI..SION CD -9725 (Rev. 10/85) b. Creative Arta (Music, dance, dramatic arts, visual arta, poetry, etc.) The creative arts portion of the Center curriculum includes a plethora of activities. Daily art projects provide experiences with variety of media. Music and dance activities provide oppor- tunities to sing, listen, learn about instruments and movement. Puppetry, drama and movies and video activities draw out the children's creativity and cooperative behaviors. Story time provides opportunities to listen to poetry and classic children's literature and instills the desire to read. C. Recreation The Centers have numerous toys and games to be used inside or out. Children see movies, participate in sports programs, enjoy special guests such as Terwillerger Nature Guides, attend weekly summer fieldtrips, swim, play and socialize. Through each of these activities the program focus is on the child's individual development, offering opportunity to meet challenge, feel success, build confidence and self-esteem within a nurturing environment. d. Support Services (Provision/referral for health services, social services, identification of child and family needs, etc.) The Center staff actively pursue open communication with parents and school staff. A network of services is made available to families. Center staff are well informed on services available in the county and have developed positive relationships with support agencies. We do contract with the County Mental Health Services for observation and evaluation of children when necessary and refer families to appropriate support services. -8- Y.IYW. %FMIS&.f VL..iY VY...I\&I".&I& M YWrf.aiv-- CHILD DEVELOPMENT DIVIF'ON CD -9725 (Rev. 10/85) e. Parent Education/Involvement (Include strategies which will enable parents to help their children to succeed academically.) The Center staff will strive for open communication with parents. There will be parent meetings, parent pot -lucks, and family nights to encourage parent participation, parent-child interaction and family involvement with the program. The Center will provide reference articles and books on parenting and offer referral to agencies such as Apple Parenting for assistance. Centers will promote school functions and act as liaison with school and parent and provide the continuum for the child's overall development. The Center staff will provide homework assistance which will in turn provide working parents with valuable time to enjoy their children. f. Nutrition Services/Education The Centers will have curriculum concerning nutrition and will serve nutritious snacks. However, no actual food program is available through the Centers currently. S. Other W11 CRLVMNU STATE DEMP" WT (IF EDUCATION CHILD DEVELDMIT DIV, IN CD -9725 (Rev. 10/85) 7. Describe how the activities will be culturally and linguistically appropriate. Centers hold daily assembly time during which children share ideas, problems, and plans. Cultural discussions occur at this time. Centers celebrate holidays of various cultures encouraging parents to share the cultural significance. Language class will be offered at some locations. 8. Describe what provision will be made for exceptional needs children in respect to program activities, facility accommodations, and staffing. Mainstreaming special -needs children is in progress at all Centers. The programs allow children to participate in activities and socialize in a recreational setting. This is not an area of emphasis because our facilities and staff do not have the very necessary provisions and special training to work with children with specialized needs. EVALUATION 9. Describe your evaluation plan. Discuss ongoing and annual strategies for evaluation and the criteria for determining program success. The program will be evaluated by interviewing parents when entering the program, taking history and documenting problems posed by latchkey situation and again six months to a year later. Topics will include stress level and reduction, child's school progress and development, and family or employment stresses. Program success in this area will be identified by stress reduction and the child's positive development and improved school progress. Also, the program will be evaluated by the quality review provided by SDE. Evaluation of child and staff enjoyment and participation in the program will be considered. Program curriculum and activities will be reviewed regularly by staff as will communications between Center staff and parents, school personnel and support agencies. -10-
