County Program Profile: Alpine and Mono Consortium

The QCC County Program Profile provides county data from the Common Data File (CDF) and the Annual Progress Report (APR). For counties that are a part of a consortium, the QCC County Program Profile provides a combined view of the CDF and APR. Both qualitative and quantitative data are presented to provide a local view of early learning and care climate.

Time Period: 2018–2019

QRIS :: Childcare Quality System

All child care sites in Mono and Alpine Counties choosing to participate in the Childcare Quality System are offered an array of supports—including training, stipends, and technical assistance—that braid funding from multiple sources depending on the site type. Six sites have been rated in the system that began in July 2015. The Mono Alpine Childcare Quality System has five levels of quality, which include measuring the following elements: (1) Child Development and School Readiness; (2) Teachers and Teaching; and (3) Program and Environment. Sites that choose to fulfill a minimum of 21 hours of professional development for at least 50 percent of their staff and conduct Ages and Stages Questionnaires qualify for a minimum annual stipend of $500 and up to $3,500.

Goal: Improve the system supporting quality early learning for all children from birth to age 5 and support improved outcomes for sites, early educators, children, and families.

Mission: Develop and sustain a strong system supporting quality child care in Mono and Alpine Counties.

Vision: Facilitate the creation and implementation of an integrated, comprehensive, and collaborative system of information and services to enhance optimal early childhood.

Process to Outreach/Onboard Programs and Providers

We engage in orientation, beginning-of-the-year meetings with providers, and web posting, and call all licensed providers to invite them to participate. All providers are eligible to participate. Outreach occurs at the end of August and beginning of September.

Quality Improvement Program Support Strategies

We use coaching, training, and advising to develop Quality Improvement Plans and communities of practice.

Local Approach to Offering Financial Incentives and Stipends

We provide an end-of-year stipend to the site from the IMPACT and QRIS Block Grant, based on the number of children served, step, and either actual or projected tier on the Rating Matrix. For the California State Preschool Program QRIS, stipends are based on the site’s tier rating.

Testimonial

Going in the right direction with the QRIS, all interested in helping the children be the best they can be. All the agencies working together to do it; DRDP is required and long, but effective and necessary. Greater familiarity with QRIS and ASQ now, more ideas generated because people know what they are.
