Dear Mr. Raun:
On behalf of United Way of Weld County and Aims Community College we are
again pleased to be submitting through the Weld County Department of Social
Services this Child Care Expansion proposal. We have partnered for the past
two years in this grant effort and have experienced some very positive
relationships from the partnership as well as productive use of grant funds.
The attached proposal is specifically targeted at raising the quality of child care in
child care homes and centers, retaining center staff and home providers, and
increasing quality training opportunities for child care staff.
United Way of Weld County and Aims Community College are again committing
both cash and in-kind support to this project far exceeding the requirements..
Aims Community College will also provide substantial commitment of in-kind
support. The project coordinators, Judy Kron and Kathy Hamblin will continue to
direct the efforts of this project at no cost to the project.
We are optimistic about the benefits of this proposal to Weld County children and
families, and child care professionals. Please give the proposal your careful
consideration.

Section A: Need For the Project and Expected Impacted/Benefits
Areas to be served and gaps: Weld County has 165,000 people (EDAP, 1999), of whom
28% (46,200) are children under the age of 18, according to Kids Count in CO, 1997/98. Weld
County has a higher poverty rate and lower median household income than other front range
counties (1998 census). Our unemployment rate for 2000 was 3.23 and our per capita income
is $37,659 compared to $43, 402 for Colorado. Weld County continues to be one of the largest
and poorest counties in the state. The Colorado Children's Campaign report for Weld county
states that there are 7,392 children needing care, with only 3,972 licensed slots available.
Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) located at United Way of Weld County works with
317 of the 389 licensed child care centers and home providers throughout the county. In 2001,
CCR&R received 866 unduplicated calls from parents seeking assistance in locating child
care. Return calls can add up to 30% to the total figure. Our child care homes total 237,
dropping 40 from 2001. Our child care centers and before/after school programs increased
from 38 in 2000, to 42 in 2001. Our recruiting goal is 40. Currently, 23 potential providers are
going through licensing or have been licensed. Of those, 10 are going through the mentoring
program. Fortunately, recruiting for infant care slots has lessened the crisis in our area. Last
year, there were no infant slots available in child care homes. To date, we average
approximately 30 infant vacancies throughout the County. Of the 12 rural areas in the County,
only Mead and Pierce have no vacancies at all, while Ft. Lupton, Erie, Hudson/Keenesburg,
and Ault/Pierce/Nunn, Windsor, and Eaton average approximately 10 vacancies each. Last
year six rural areas had no vacancies at all.
Clearly, the gaps are widening to access home child care —which is the most affordable
care for low income families. Greeley/Evans School District Six received a substantial grant to
increase before & after school programs, accounting for the increase in programs. Our
collaborating agencies (Aims Community College and United Way of Weld County) remain
committed to recruiting new home providers to fill the ever widening gap and to improve the
quality of care offered in centers and homes. We will alter our recruiting strategies for next year
in order to begin to bridge the widening gap of attrition in child care homes. We are more
committed than ever to raising the quality of child care in the county through measurable
programs. We believe this will assist to retain child care providers in centers and in homes.
These gaps in the availability and access to quality licensed child care providers
throughout our County and particularly in the rural areas must be addressed. In order to
do so, we propose to increase the availability of affordable child care for low income working
families in several ways:
• Continue recruiting new child care providers through incentives and training to create over
150 new slots in our targeted areas.
• Continue to retain current child care providers and increase the quality of their child care.
• Create and implement a Professional Development Plan for child care center and family
child care home professionals.
• Improve quality of care in child care homes and centers through assessment training.
• Improve quality of child care in Weld County by providing assessment, technical
assistance, incentive and follow-up assessment for homes and centers.
Other Types of Funding
Weld County Department of Social Services continues to transfer the maximum amount
of TANF funds to child care activities, focusing on low-income working families, and child
welfare. The child care block grant allocation is not generating sufficient funding for Weld
County to allow us to divert any funds from monthly subsidizes to expand child care services.
Weld County's child care allocation remained the same for FY 2001/2002. Weld County was
unable to increase child care rates in 2001/2002 because of factors noted above. In analyzing
2
child care rates among the ten largest counties, Weld County is comparable or higher than the
average child care rate distribution from DSS.
Section B: Program Description, Administrative Capacity and Accountability
Goals and Objectives: We are targeting two areas to emphasize for this year's
Expansion Grant: Goal 1) improve the quality of child care available to children and families in
Weld County; Goal 2) Increase the number of new child care home providers and retain
current child care home providers. Both goals and their objectives are to be complete by June
30, 2003. In general, all recruited providers will be chosen based on their ability to participate
in quality child care assessments, serve low-income families and meet one of our targeted
areas: rural care, off-hour care, bi-lingual care, infant care, and quality center care.
We are maintaining the action steps and objectives that have been the most successful for us
—the scholarships through Aims and the initial mentee/mentor incentive program.
This year we will expand our collaboration to include the local food programs, Aims' pre-
licensing program, local child care association members and local licensing personnel. We
intend to create a face-to-face orientation for potential new providers with these partners.
Currently, all of the pre-licensing orientation is done through distance learning. Due to the
isolation home care providers experience, it is necessary to offer an interactive orientation to
meet professionals and other potential providers. At these orientations, we will screen and
recruit providers for the initial mentor and incentive program, as well as for quality assessment
homes. Our goal is to better select participants for the mentoring program, resulting in better
retention and a higher quality of initial home care.
This year we are combining our mentor program with quality assessment training. We
will provide 10 home mentors and 10 center teachers to be trained in two of the following: the
Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale, Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, Family
Day Care Rating Scale and School Age Care Environment Rating Scales. These 20 providers
3
will cross-evaluate one other classroom and/or home, develop a plan to increase the quality of
care, and reevaluate to insure the increase has been achieved. goal participants will increase
their quality by .5 to one point on the assessment scale - a significant increase. Technical
assistance will be available to providers to assist with the quality improvement plans if
necessary. In one year, 40 homes and classrooms will show significant increases in their
quality of child care.
Additionally, we will assist 5 home providers to become accredited. We will also require
evaluation meetings for all program participants in order to strengthen professional
development and to regularly assess the viability of each participant's child care program and
to evaluate the progress of each grant goal. At the end of the year, we will acknowledge the
success of the providers with stipends for achieving and maintaining their increase in quality
child care. We will hold a recognition celebration to further promote networking and present the
financial stipend.
To strengthen rural community child care, we will target four rural areas ( Windsor,
Johnstown, Ft. Lupton, and Dacono/Frederick/Firestone) and recruit one mentor per
community. This mentor will be trained to assist current providers to increase their quality of
child care and to recruit new providers for the area. Technical support will be available to each
geographical location on a monthly basis to insure this program is successful.
Though we do not specifically target children with special needs, we do have an active
committee that works with this population in child care settings. The developmental needs of
children will be addressed in the assessment and quality improvement process.

Closing the gaps identified in Section A:
This project will directly impact the gaps identified in Section A, that prevent low-income
families from accessing quality child care. Our project will improve accessibility to child care by
increasing slots and will improve the overall quality of care in over 40 targeted classes and
homes. By focusing on home care because it is more affordable, we are directly impacting
low-income families. We will strengthen the process to recruit home providers in rural areas
and to increase the quality of care available in targeted rural areas. In order to serve low-
income working families better, the DSS is represented on the CCR&R and Special Needs
Committees.
Professional development for child care center providers will raise the quality of care in
existing facilities improving outcomes for children and the retention of qualified staff. Previous
tracking of grant tuition recipients indicates a high level of retention (92%) of trained individuals
in early childhood education.
The public relations campaign will continue, even though we are not seeking grant
dollars for its maintenance. Education to the community at large about choosing quality child
care will continue to target Spanish speaking members. Brochures and flyers will continue to
be distributed in areas and to businesses that will help low-income parents.
Measurable Outcomes: (see table) The County will know this program is successful by the
number of CCAP and low-income families being served through the grant participants
(homes/centers). Through quarterly reports, the County will monitor the improved quality
through the assessment rating scales. Specific evaluation criteria is referred to in the above
table.
Outcome Measurement and Timeframes: (see table)
Other Community Resources and Services: United Way of Weld County (UWWC) will
continue to provide funding to the Incentive Program and will pick up the costs of re-printing
the brochure. Business contracts will provide incentive dollars to recruit child care providers.
CORRA also provides money towards these efforts. A significant source of funding that
directly impacts low-income families and other working families is our FSN Business Child
Care Program. Five county businesses are contributing to their employees' child care through
this program. Aims Community College has two Infant Toddler Quality Expansion grants, an
Infant Toddler Quality Improvement grant from the state, Title V, and Head Start Partnership
federal grants. These enable Aims to link training opportunities to child care providers.
How providers are selected: Providers will be selected based on their willingness and ability
to address targeted areas listed above. Only licensed providers will be selected.
Outreach Activities and Benefits for Low Income Families: Our programs benefit low
income and working parents by increasing the number of child care homes available
throughout the county. All program participants will be required to enroll CCAP and low-
income families in their child care. Our target areas historically recruit for shift care and off-
hour care, which aids many low-income families. Additional training and intensive assessment
for child care providers will allow us to quantify the raise in quality to programs for all children
served, including low income families. Weld County Department of Social Services
participates in committees that develop programs that further a low-income family's ability to
have a voice in determining what access to child care they require in order to continue to be
productive employees. We will continue to interpret and translate information into Spanish
about choosing quality child care and available financial subsidies. Because we are requiring
8
all program participants to enroll CCAP and low-income families, we are confident that
outreach activities will be effective.
County DSS plans for monitoring the project:
DSS will have representation in developing our mentoring goals and in evaluating the
success of the quality assessments. Additionally, DSS will invite the other partners to
participate in recruiting and training activities as appropriate to meet the project goals. A
monthly review of the progress of the project will occur, along with quarterly reports.
Progress of Children: By design, the quality assessment goal of this project will increase
successful outcomes for children. Participants will report anecdotally about the progress of
children in their care. When quality child care increases by .5 to 1 point on assessments, that
is a significant benefit to children.
Building Capacity:
This project, through its recruitment component, will create at least 150 additional child
care slots. Over 50% of these slots will serve low-income families.
Building Quality:
This project, through it's professional development and the assessment activities will
impact over 400 children by raising the quality of their care by .5 to 1 point on the assessment
scale. Additionally, the 20 students receiving scholarships will utilize their education in the
classroom and impact quality through that avenue. Over 30 children will benefit from the
homes that become accredited. A larger number of children stand to benefit from our
campaign on choosing quality child care. Since every parent who calls CCR&R for child care
information receives our checklist on choosing quality child care, we are potentially impacting a
minimum of 1,000 children a year.
9
Section C: Coordination, Collaboration and Local Match
Due to the extensive collaboration currently in place, we know we are not nor will in the
future duplicate existing services.
Local Participants: The CCR&R committee is made up of representatives of the leaders in
the child care industry in the county. This project was collaboratively conceived through
committee participation. The Weld Family Child Care Association and the Country Child Care
Professional Association, the Weld Association for the Education of Young Children, and
Family Connects will also be utilized to build capacity and quality. This year we intend to
include several other CCR&R members in our collaboration through the Orientation. In
addition to our other grant partners, we will partner with local food programs and licensing
personnel to offer regular face-to-face interactive orientations to potential new providers. This
maximizes the use of resources for all the goals of this project.
Local child care resources: The CCR&R program at United Way of Weld County will
continue its efforts to reach over 1000 families to educate them about quality child care and
potential financial subsidies available. The FSN program of United Way of Weld County will
also continue its efforts to recruit local businesses to contribute to their employees' child care
expenses. The pre-licensing training through Aims Community College is a resource available
to new providers.
Local Matching Resources:
Matching funds for this project are provided through United Way of Weld County,
Colorado Office of Resource and Referral Agencies, Aims Community College and Kodak,
R.R. Donnelley, and other grants. Our in-kind and cash match exceeds the required level and
includes the majority of staffing costs, space at Aims, and United Way of Weld County,
coordination, bookkeeping and office materials.
10
History of Successful Collaborations
Weld County has a distinguished history of collaboration. The Weld County Child Abuse
Coalition has been in existence since 1989. The CCR&R committee has been functioning for
over six years and recently, we have combined forces of over 5 entities to provide one
newsletter to the child care provider community. The Child Care Task Force Committee was
established to determine child care needs in the county. Since the research has been
completed (2000), presentations to the major partners and community groups have been
provided. The Task Force continues to meet on a regular basis to evaluate the progress of
Committee recommendations. Another community initiative that emphasizes the importance of
children three and under is Promises for Children, a county cooperative to educate our
community on the needs of young children.
Section D: Plan for Continuation after Grant Ends
United Way of Weld County (UWWC) is committed to continuing the mentoring and
provider recruitment programs. Last year, UWWC funded the majority of recruited providers
and their incentives. Through business grants from RR Donnelley and Kodak, we will continue
to expand the child care slots in the community. Increased business participation in
subsidizing child care will also allow UWWC to fund quality child care programs. CORRA
funding continues to be available.
Aims Community College is equally committed to support of child care providers
professional development. The College is consistently seeking grant sources to continue and
expand student scholarships.
The partners will continue to seek grant sources to enable these programs to continue.
Participation on the CCR&R committee insures a community support for continuation of grant
goals. Any staff costs will be absorbed through budgetary planning.
