California Alternative Payment Programs (APPs)- Lifting up families and children

Since 1976, community based Alternative Payment Programs (APPs) have been supporting working families with access to child care, early education and supportive services. For over 40 years, APPs connected income eligible working families with resources to lift families up towards self-sufficiency and help break free from the cycle of poverty for themselves and for their children. Today, these programs have evolved in their supports for the most fragile of families by linking them not only to child care and early learning programs but also to food programs, mental health, domestic violence intervention, housing, transportation and health care to name a few.
 
For each month in 2020, an agency was profiled to showcase their work and services being delivered within their respective county and/ or community. Review of those profiled highlighted ways that individual agencies and the case managers were working to support the needs of families in a 24 hour/seven days per week economy, to meet the unique cultural and linguistic needs of families with outreach and materials in understandable languages and to serve as a reliable place families could turn to in any time of need.
 
During these unprecedented and challenging times, our agencies not only continued to be the reliable place for families to turn, but increased their supports to include access to emergency child care, diapers, collected clothing for the entire family, housing and food. As communities continue to recover, the agencies continue to serve. Lifting families and children up is the North Star that is our compass for the work that we do.

Governor Newsom Releases the Master Plan for Early Learning and Care: California for All Kids

Aspirational but Fails to Meet the Here and Now

Observations from CAPPA's CEO: As reported last week, the Master Plan was released on December 1, 2020. The 113 page document has much in it to like. However, it simply fails to address the immediate needs of the child care and early learning delivery system.

Currently, our system of child care and early learning is grossly underfunded. Over the last ten years, this system had only received a token amount of real investment in terms of building up access for working families and meeting the real needs of our earliest learners beginning at birth. Family child care providers and centers that support our poorest of families with access to child care to meet their needs make on average between $3.00 per hour and $7.50 per hour. And the rates reimbursed to those family child care providers to care for the most fragile of children are based on 2015 reimbursement data.

During this pandemic, over 400 child care centers and 5,700 family child care homes have closed down. However, the demand for access by our essential workers on the frontlines of this pandemic and our poorest of families has grown.

The Master Plan for Early Learning and Care fails to meet or even address in a real way the crisis that currently exists. And by failing to address the immediate crisis in a real and thoughtful way the current subsidized child care system will simply crumble and have to be rebuilt from scratch at a much higher cost.

The Master Plan espouses expansion of transitional kindergarten for all 4-year-olds and greater access to qualified 3-year-olds in the state to public preschool. Sounds great. However, there is absolutely no way to reach those goals if the existing child care workforce goes out of business.

For community based partners that support our poorest of working families, this plan does not take into account their working needs. Those needs being that child care must be provided in a real way that meets the real working needs of families in California's 24-hour/seven days per week economy.

So for conversation sake, and the focus of the plan to expand preschool and transitional kindergarten, where is the investment to support wraparound supports for working families. For instance, most families cannot leave their job after three and a half hours, the time of a preschool or part-day kindergarten program. These families would need to secure transportation from one program to another.

Additionally, many of the families that rely on subsidized child care to work, need after 6:00 pm evening care or weekend. The Master Plan does not meet the real needs of our poorest families or the true working needs of most families.

Finally, the master plan creates more fractures within the existing system. Essentially the plan says that three and four year old children will be supported; however families with infants and toddlers are left out.

California's child care system is poised for total collapse. The time is now to set a priority of funding family child care providers and centers. Stabilize what capacity currently exists. It is then, and only then that it be appropriate to revisit the goals of the Master Plan.

California unveiled a blueprint for the future of early education. Critics say it’s built on shaky ground

(Excerpt) “We’re sounding the alarm, because the system is on the verge of collapse,” said Max Arias, chairman of the Child Care Providers Union, which represents thousands of workers. “Who knows how the sector will look when it’s time to start implementing this plan? We need to address this crisis, because if not, there won’t be any child-care providers left.”

Indeed, the pandemic has further destabilized an industry that was already in decline when Gov. Gavin Newsom campaigned on early-education reform in 2018, and when experts began work on the plan last fall. Echoing the Master Plan for Higher Education, the Master Plan for Early Learning and Care was envisioned as a 10-year guidebook for new legislation, investment and reform. Its main goals include uniform standards for early education, better training for child-care workers, easier access to subsidized care for low-income families and universal transitional kindergarten for all California 4-year-olds.

“The goals they lay out are great, but where’s the roadmap for actually getting this done?” asked Ted Lempert, a former state assemblyman who is president of the research and advocacy organization Children Now. “COVID has made this system so fragile and so essential. Now we’re in code red.”

Assemblywoman Garcia and Senator Skinner Elected to Lead California Legislative Women’s Caucus                                
 
New Women’s Caucus Leaders Assume Roles Effective Immediately
SACRAMENTO – The bipartisan and bicameral California Legislative Women’s Caucus elected Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia (D-Bell Gardens) as its Chair and Senator Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) as Vice Chair, effective immediately. Senator Connie M. Leyva (D-Chino) and Assemblywoman Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara) served as Chair and Vice Chair of the Women’s Caucus, respectively, from December 2018 until this election of new leaders.
“I would like to start by thanking past Chair Senator Connie Leyva and Vice Chair Assemblymember Monique Limón for their great leadership. I also want to extend my deepest appreciation to the women in the Legislature for their confidence and support,” Garcia said. “My top priority as Chair of the Women’s Caucus is to work collectively to lift up and maximize opportunities for all women and to ensure the needs of our most vulnerable and disenfranchised women are at the forefront of the discussion. I also want to ensure our collective work increases the number of women in positions of power across all fields.”
Assemblywoman Garcia was first elected to the California State Assembly in 2012 and previously served as Chair of the Women’s Caucus.
“I’m honored to be elected Vice Chair of the California Legislative Women’s Caucus, and I look forward to collaborating with Chair Garcia and all of our women legislators to champion key issues for women and families and to lift women into leadership roles in the state,” said Senator Skinner. “The COVID-19 crisis has been particularly challenging as job loss has hit women the hardest, and those fortunate to still have jobs are balancing work, caring for children and elders, and managing distance learning needs. I will bring my decade of experience in the Legislature to advance equity for all women and facilitate legislation and other measures that improve the well-being of women, children, and families.”
Elected to the California State Senate in 2016, Senator Skinner previously served three terms in the California State Assembly.
Formed in 1985, the bipartisan California Legislative Women’s Caucus now includes 38 legislators of both parties, including 15 Senators and 23 Assemblymembers, comprising 31 percent of the California State Legislature. The Legislative Women’s Caucus represents and advocates on behalf of the diverse interests of women, children and families throughout California. It seeks to increase participation and representation of women in state government. Women’s Caucus members seek to promote sound legislative policies and budget priorities that will improve the well-being of women, children and families and to work cooperatively with local, state and national women’s organizations interested in advancing policies to achieve these same objectives.

Fiscal Year 2020–21 Child Care and Development Contract Changes

The Child Development and Nutrition Fiscal Services (CDNFS) Office is providing all contractors with a link to the “FY 2020–21 Child Care and Development Contract Changes for Alternative Payment Contractors” and the “FY 2020-21 Child Care and Development Contract Changes for Direct-Service Contractors.” Due to the number of changes affecting Alternative Payment and Direct-Service contractors, CDNFS is releasing two letters this year instead of one. These letters detail information important to all contractors with the California Department of Education to provide childcare and development services. Topics include changes to the limits of reimbursement, updates on reimbursement calculation, new funding sources made available to various contract types, attendance and fiscal reporting updates, family fee waivers, and reimbursement, among others. Please find the 2020–21 Center-based Child Development Contract Changes letter on the CDNFS web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/cd/cbcdcontractchngs2021.asp and 2020–21 Child Care and Development Contract Changes for Alternative Payment Contractors at https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/cd/apcontractchngs2021.asp.

On November 23, CDE posted new FAQs for ELC Programs Below are some of the questions answered.

What is the guidance/directive in how we conduct a parent conference for an enrolled family that is "distance learning" but not participating in the distance learning opportunities or communicating consistently with staff? (Posted 11/23/20)
Families are not required to participate in distance learning services and must not be disenrolled. When a family is absent from distance learning for more than a week, the contractor must attempt to reengage the family, and document reengagement efforts.

We have a family that does not speak one of the predominantly spoken languages in our program. Is the program required to support the child and family in their primary language? (Posted 11/23/20)
Yes, according to Title 5 Section 18273, the program approach must meet the developmental, linguistic, and cultural need of children and families being served.

If we have a family due for recertification who has a TK-eligible child, do we extend the certification period? (Posted 11/23/20)
The CDE encourages programs to transition children that are TK-eligible to a TK program. If that is not an option, the CDE encourages the programs to transfer these children to CCTR program, if available. Do not disenroll this child. Yes, you may extend the recertification period until CDE issues more specific guidance.

What do we put on the attendance sheet if we have to close one classroom due to COVID-19? (Posted 11/23/20)
You will mark the child as having an excused absence.
On the CDNFS Fiscal and Attendance report form (CDNFS 8501 or CDNFS 9500), only report those days of attendance in which the child is physically being served in the classroom. When a classroom is closed due to COVID-19, contractors are required to offer distance learning services for enrolled children, in accordance with the policy directives in MB 20-17. In this case, families are not required to sign in or out, therefore you will not utilize an attendance sheet or sign in/out sheet. You will however document the distance learning services offered, as described in MB 20-17.

I have certified our CCTR & CSPP Contracts on CPARIS - is that the same as submitting? There is no actual submit button. (Posted 11/23/20)
Yes, certifing on CPARIS is the same as submitting. Please also ensure that you have certified your Certification of Assurances.

What about the CSPP applications for funding? When might those applications that were put “on hold” be considered? (Posted 11/23/20)
In this year's budget, the Legislature and Administration did not fund CSPP expansion. However, additional federal funds may become available for such use. If that happens, we will inform the field.

I was wondering if we are required to send out the parent survey this year, complete ECERs, and if we are required to have a Parent Advisory Committee, since we are not in person. (Posted 11/23/20)
Guidance for the program quality components is forthcoming. Know that sending out parent surveys by mail or electronic survey will help assess your program and services. Contractors are conducting parent advisory meetings via conference calls and virtually to advise the contractor on issues related to services. To maintain program quality component requirements, contractors are encouraged to think of creative methods in light of current circumstances.

Should we do a DRDP for a child who has been with us for years, but since reopening this year, they are sheltering-in-place at home? Should we, their teachers, who have not met the child in person before, still complete the DRDP? (Posted 11/23/20)
Yes, if the child is in enrolled, whether in-person or via distance learning, a DRDP must be completed. For more information, please see the Desired Results COVID-19 Resources web page.
Federal News
Joe Biden has a $335 billion child-care plan — and Republican lawmakers could be on board with parts of it
Both the child-care industry and the families it serves have been put through the wringer during the coronavirus pandemic, but advocates say one silver lining could be new bipartisan momentum for President-elect Joe Biden’s pledge to improve access to affordable, high-quality child care.
Federal lawmakers responded to child-care providers’ struggles at the onset of the pandemic with $3.5 billion in relief funding. Since then, both major parties have proposed additional funding packages to shore up the industry, ranging from $7 billion to $57 billion.
None of those has made it into law, but the fact that Republicans led the calls for some of those child-care relief proposals suggests there’s at least a patch of common ground on Biden’s child-care plan, experts say.
“There’s beginning to be a lot of bipartisan recognition of how important child care is for the economy, for families, for getting people to work,” said Averi Pakulis, the vice president for early childhood and public health policy at First Focus on Children, a bipartisan group that advocates for child- and family-centered federal policies.
“We don’t think it’s an overstatement to say our economy rests on child care and can’t function without it,” she added. “People are starting to realize how important that is, and some members of Congress are starting to hear that from their constituents.”
A record 47 Republican lawmakers sent letters to their colleagues supporting funding increases for early education and child-care programs in next year’s federal budget, and the Senate ultimately proposed increases for several of those programs. (Rep. Steve Stivers of Ohio and Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, two of the lawmakers who publicly supported child-care funding, did not respond to requests for comment.)
Federal Update - The clock is still ticking until the December 11 deadline to pass a government spending bill (either an omnibus or another CR) to keep the government open and running. Time is also running out to pass a COVID-19 relief package before year’s end, and thankfully, negotiations are once again gaining momentum. On Tuesday, the “gang of 8,” a bipartisan group of senators and representatives, released their framework for a COVID-19 emergency relief package. The framework, attached, includes $10 billion for child care, which is far less than the at least $50 billion that is needed to stabilize the system for 5-6 months. Senate Majority Leader McConnell also released his version of a “targeted” relief package on Tuesday, which is much smaller than the bipartisan package, does not list any funding amount for child care, and is unlikely to gain any momentum. The bipartisan package, however, continues to gain support from key leaders on both sides. Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader Schumer have both come out and publicly agreed to the toplines in the “gang of 8” bipartisan package (Biden has as well). And talks between Pelosi and McConnell yesterday indicated positive movement and a “shared commitment” to pass an omnibus bill to fund the government and a COVID relief package. While movement on a relief package is good news, we know that $10 billion would only cover about one month of relief to stabilize the child care system. Therefore, the next few days are critical, and if you have the capacity, please continue to do outreach to leadership and offices on both sides to emphasize the continued need for at least $50 billion for child care and that $10 (or even $15B) is NOT enough, especially House and Senate Republicans. 
 
Additionally, in a new resource, the National Head Start Association lays out exactly what Head Start needs in the next COVID-19 relief package to cover acute costs and stabilize the program. Specifically, Head Start needs $11.2 billion to cover ongoing COVID-19 costs, invest in frontline staff, repair and renovate facilities, and address compounded needs, such as mental health services – which was included in the recent agenda for 2021 signed by 187 organizations. To read the full resource, please see the attached document. 

Representative Rosa DeLauro Selected as Chairwoman of House Appropriations Committee - On Thursday, the House Democratic Caucus voted to make Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) the next chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee, which oversees funding for the entire federal government. This is wonderful news for the child care advocacy world, as DeLauro is has been a longtime advocate for child care and has fought to ensure that it receives robust federal investment.

The Children's Movement of California

CA must do right by kids in 2021; that starts with making them our top priority

Now well into the ninth month of the pandemic, California cannot ignore the disproportionate impact it’s having on kids. While the COVID-19 virus may be, for the most part, sparing children’s physical health, kids are increasingly experiencing stress, social isolation, disconnectedness and serious mental health issues. And the learning loss and lack of preventive health care because of the pandemic threatens this entire generation of children. 
Even before COVID-19, California was not prioritizing kids, especially kids that face systemic barriers to their well-being, including Black and brown children, kids in poverty, students who are English learners, youth in foster care and children who are in unsafe situations. Now the situation is dire.
2021 is the year to make a long-overdue, significant shift in state priorities to put children first and ensure our collective future. 

Please sign on to a letter urging state leaders to put children first in 2021, and specifically, to ensure that every unrestricted dollar in the 2021-22 state budget be prioritized for supports for kids, across the early childhood, family and economic supports, health, K-12 and higher ed, housing and child welfare domains.

Together, we can ensure that we protect our most precious constituency – our kids – and make them California’s top priority.
Council for a Strong America is hosting a virtual release of their new report on Wednesday December 9, 2020 at 1:00 PM PT! Register here to join: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_--nsxz3XQBSM7laa8UZFwQ.
 
Background:
As you know, one of the most pressing issues working parents of young children face today is finding affordable, accessible, and high-quality childcare. In 2019, ReadyNation commissioned a study examining the economic impacts of the nation’s childcare crisis on working parents, employers, and taxpayers. Our findings were eye-opening: the annual economic cost of the childcare crisis resulted in $57 billion in lost earnings, productivity, and revenue. Join us as we discuss California's childcare crisis in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and why fixing the childcare crisis is critical to our economic recovery and societal well-being.
 
Our discussion will be moderated by Shelly Masur, CSA CA State Director. Panelists will include Senator Connie Leyva (CA State Senate), Melissa Stafford Jones (Executive Director, First 5 Association), Laura Parmer-Lohan (ReadyNation), Rear Admiral (Ret.) Frank Ponds (Mission: Readiness), Chief Abdul Pridgen (Seaside; Fight Crime: Invest in Kids), and Sandra Bishop, Ph.D. (Research Director, Council for a Strong America).

COVID-19 Relief for Child Care Providers

Will you contact your members of Congress and urge them to pass a pandemic relief bill that includes enough funding to keep child care providers afloat through the recovery?
Access to affordable, and high-quality child care is not only critical to a child’s healthy development, but it is also the backbone of the American economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the indispensable role child care plays in the lives of working families. Too often, child care has been the determining factor when parents—particularly mothers—have had to drop out of the workforce amid this pandemic. With reduced revenue from limited enrollment—down an average of 67 percent compared to pre-COVID levels—and skyrocketing operating expenses related to important but costly health and safety standards—a 47 percent increase—child care providers are struggling to stay afloat. Even in a normal economy, most child care providers operate on thin margins, so these extraordinary circumstances could result in a permanent loss of nearly 4.5 million child care slots based on predicted closure rates across the country. This threatens the livelihoods of millions of providers across the country—and the working parents who rely on them.
