Quick Summary / Abstract
Approve Road to Child Outcomes Participant Agreements between SBBC and identified Early Childhood Providers.

The Early Learning Coalition (ELC) awarded the SBBC Early Childhood Education (ECE) Department the Road to Child Outcomes grant to support high quality care and education at external childcare providers in the Southern Cluster of Broward County.   The goal of the initiative is to provide supports to systematically integrate quality within the Early Care and Education Community through a focus on the child, family, teacher, and learning environment.

Participating childcare centers were selected following the guidelines from the ELC:

* Located within the zip codes area of 33023, 33020, 33021, 33024, and 33025
* Servicing students with subsidized childcare funding (School Readiness)

Through the implementation of the grant and execution of these agreements, the SBBC ELC4 team of a teacher specialist, master teachers, mental health specialist, and parent educators provide direct support to 16 centers, 94 classrooms, and over 1,200 children within the external early childhood community.

The agreements have been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.  

There is no additional financial impact to the District.
