Registration Now Open!

Network and CAPPA Joint Annual Conference 2020 Goes Virtual!
There is a lot of interest in this year's Joint Annual Conference, on a virtual platform!

While we will certainly miss being able to come together in-person to share and gain information and to meet and connect with colleagues and workshop presenters, we want to create a conference event that meets as many of our members' needs as possible given the parameters that virtual conferences/workshops have. Now, perhaps more than ever, it is important for our community to stay connected, stand united, and meet this challenge together.

While we won't be able to meet in-person, what we hope to offer in a thoughtful, user-friendly manner, are keynote presentations, workshops, networking opportunities, and connection time with vendors. It will be different this year since we cannot be in the same physical location, but assisted by technology, we can do all that. With no travel and flexibility, we look forward to new opportunities for R&R Network and CAPPA members from across the state, as well as state partners, joining us as we collectively support our children, families and communities.

Virtual Conference Details
Workshops will be both live and on-demand, with some speakers available for live discussion during their scheduled presentation time. The Virtual Exhibit Hall will run the full conference with links to company videos, materials on the platform, and live chat and meeting opportunities. We also will be incorporating some networking opportunities to connect you with your peers. Post conference, workshop sessions will be recorded and available for viewing for 2 weeks post-conference, which will provide additional learning opportunities for conferees following the conference dates. This platform will allow you to have access to more workshops than ever before!

2020-2021 California State Budget
SB 82 and AB 1865 the trailer bills that have additional child care impacts were amended on August 27 & 28. The main area for child care are included in Section 111. Changes include:
  • Language to fund family child care homes and centers as well as CalWORKs Stages 1, 2 & 3 with assistance to address hardships including decreased enrollment, ratios, etc.

  • From September 1 - June 30, 2021 family fees for families where ALL children in the family enrolled in subsidized early learning and care remain at home, either for distance learning or for families sheltering in place are waived. NOTE: If additional federal dollars are not received, direct service contractors, family childcare home providers participating in a family childcare home education network, and alternative payment provider will absorb the cost.

  • $30 million for covering extension of the above noted family fees
  • $35 million to support alternative and migrant payment programs to reimburse providers for providing short-term childcare to eligible children when a provider is closed

California Public Health Officials Release Guidance for Small Supervised Groups of Children
Date: Released August 25, 2020
Number: NR20-207

Guidance Applies to Educational and Childcare Settings 
Groups or Cohorts Must be Limited to No More Than 14 Children and 2 Adults 
 
SACRAMENTO – The California Department of Public Health today released guidance regarding the in-person supervision of cohorts of children or youth in educational and childcare settings. A cohort is a stable group of no more than 14 children or youth and no more than two supervising adults in a supervised environment in which the adults and children stay together for all activities and avoids contact with people outside of their group in the setting. The guidance makes cohorting practices consistent and outlines the required health and safety practices needed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 across settings, such as small group learning for students with special needs and district or school "hubs" for distance learning and childcare.

Federal Updates
While there is still no relief package, we have heard that negotiations between House Democrats and Republicans and the White House have resumed as of today. We have also heard that the continuing resolution (CR), which Congress will need to pass by the end of September to keep the government open, may be the most likely vehicle for a COVID relief package. It is rumored that McConnell does not want to hold two different votes on a CR and on a COVID package. If this is the case, it might not be until the end of the September if we see a relief package. This is incredibly disappointing given the urgency of the much-needed relief for child care. Given this potentially extended timeline, it is still crucial that you continue to reach out to your federal delegations and keep up the pressure to enforce two key messages:  

·        Families, communities, and businesses can’t wait – we need another relief package NOW and for child care to be a priority.  
·        We need at least $50 billion in stabilization funding for child care in this next package.   

It is essential that we keep up education and outreach to Congressional members and keep up the heat in the press, especially if you’re state-based! In particular, if your representation includes frontline Dems up for re-election or Senate Republicans up for re-election (e.g., CO, KY, IA, ME, TX, and SC), it is even more critical that they hear from you. Each day that passes, the situation for child care providers, educators, and families who rely on them becomes more dire – and we can’t let our elected officials think that these challenges have subsided. We can’t let the noise and power we’ve built die down – we need everyone to keep lifting the issue and the need! 

Sign-on by Wednesday, September 1 at 5 PM ET: Transition Letter from Women's Community 
 
The on-going racial injustice, the pandemic with its accompanying economic implosion, and the upcoming 2020 elections present an opportunity to demand that our elected leaders take a new path and center the needs of women and girls of color in their policies.  
 
Thus, a small cohort of groups, including National Women’s Law Center, National Partnership for Women and Families, In Our Own Voice, National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum, Black Feminist Future, MomsRising, Girls for Gender Equity, United State of Women, YWCA USA, PPFA, NARAL, Center for Reproductive Rights, Times Up, CAP, NOW, Supermajority, Julie Kashen, Vicki Shabo, Family Values at Work, Coalition of Labor Union Women, and more, have come together to advise on, shape, guide, and/or draft the attached letter to all federal elected officials and candidates that both states our values and provides a broad outline of the community’s policy priorities. This letter is meant to be a first communication of policy priorities by the broader community, to be followed by additional action after further community discussion (timing TBD). 
 
Sign on is open through Wednesday, September 1st at 5 PM ET. You can read the letter and sign on here. If you have any questions, please reach out to Theresa Lau at tlau@nwlc.org. 

Updated Briefs About Health and Safety Topics



Tracking the COVID-19 Recession’s Effects on Food, Housing, and Employment Hardships

The National Center on Early Childhood Quality Assurance (ECQA Center) is pleased to share an updated series of briefs about the health and safety training topics required in the 2016 Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Program Final Rule for all child care providers that receive payment from the CCDF subsidy program.
 
Licensing and CCDF administrators may find these briefs helpful as they consider revisions to standards for both licensed and license-exempt providers. These briefs may also be useful in developing health and safety guidelines for child care providers during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic—especially the brief about the prevention and control of infectious disease—because all the briefs provide links to best practice guidelines and examples of regulatory language on the topics.
 
This series of CCDF health and safety requirements briefs, updated in July 2020, provides an overview of national guidelines and state requirements related to the following topics:

Guidance Regarding Requirements for Reopening Reimbursement, and Distance Learning for Direct Service Contractors

Senate Bill 98 added Education Code Section 8209(f), which specifies that for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020–21, General Childcare and Development Program (CCTR), California State Preschool Program (CSPP), Family Childcare Home Education Network (CFCC), Severely Disabled Program (CHAN), and Migrant Childcare and Development Program (CMIG) direct contracted programs are to be reimbursed the lesser of 100 percent of the contract Maximum Reimbursable Amount (MRA) or net reimbursable program costs when the contractor is either:
  • Physically open to provide early learning and care (ELC) services for all enrolled families by September 8, 2020, or within 21 calendar days from the start date of the contracting agency’s FY 2020–21 approved program calendar, whichever is sooner, and remain open and offer services through the FY 2020–21 program year; or
  • Not physically open by these dates, due to a written state or local public health order related to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and specific to early learning or child care, or
  • Physically re-open by these dates, with any future days of closure related to the COVID-19 pandemic being due to a state or local public health order specific to early learning or child care.

The definition of a state or local public health order may include written orders, advisories, or guidance specific to early learning or child care issued by a state or local public health authority.

Per the Listserv released July 19, 2020, both Local Educational Agency (LEA) and community-based organization contractors, whose ELC programs are operated on a LEA campus, are allowed to remain closed due to situations where they are unable to open within 21 calendar days of their operating calendar, and be reimbursed as specified above, while awaiting guidance from the CDE. In instances where a program is closed between July 1 and September 7, a revised program calendar and program narrative change is required, but the contract MRA will not be prorated.

Contractors that do not reopen within the specified timeline without a state or local public health order, as defined above, will not be reimbursed for any period of time that the program is not physically open. Similarly, contractors that open by the timeframe set forth above and subsequently close for reasons not due to the issuance of state or local public health order specific to early learning or child care will not be reimbursed for any period of time that the program is not physically open, unless the closure is otherwise currently allowed pursuant to Management Bulletin (MB) 10-09: Reduced Days of Operation or Attendance Due to Emergency Conditions, and approved by the CDE, ELCD.

Emergency Disaster Relief Information Related to Statewide Emergency Due to Fires, Extreme Weather Conditions

In response to an emergency proclamation issued on August 18, 2020, by Governor Newsom, regarding the fires burning across California, the CDE, ELCD is sending this notice to all ELCD Contracting Agencies.

On August 18, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a statewide emergency to help ensure the availability of critical resources to address the fires occurring across the state.
The CDE, ELCD recognizes the impact to communities caused by the fires and the resulting, often long-term, emergency conditions. Some natural events may have rendered centers, family child care homes, and license-exempt providers unable to offer services, while other events may have increased the number of families experiencing homelessness.

The CDE, ELCD is offering some information that may be helpful in responding to local disasters, as well as for local agency recovery efforts in continuing to serve California’s child care needs.

Click here to read the full guidance.
Guidance on Parent Signatures on Monthly Attendance Records

To address concerns regarding parent signatures on monthly attendance records for alternative payment providers, the CDE, ELCD engaged with the Legislature and the Administration on a solution to modify the requirements for parent signatures on the monthly attendance record/invoice that are provided by Education Code (EC) Section 8221.5. Further, the CDE understands the Administration and Legislature plan to address the monthly attendance record/invoice issue in August Budget Actions.

Pursuant to the Superintendent’s authority provided by EC Section 8209, effective July 1, 2020, contractors should not withhold reimbursement to providers on the basis of attendance records and/or invoices not having a parent or guardian’s signatures if:
(1) The provider attempts to collect a signature on the monthly attendance record or invoice, and
(2) The parent or guardian is unable to sign due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Providers must continue to submit attendance records and/or invoices in accordance with current reporting policies.

Any attendance record received without parent signature must include documented attempts made to contact the parent. The documentation must include:
  • The date and time of the contact(s)
  • The name of the parent or other authorized adult contacted
  • The specific information provided or discussed with the parent or other authorized adult
  • If the attempts to contact the parent or other authorized adult were unsuccessful, the documentation must include if a message was left and when a follow-up call will be made

Guidance for Serving School-Age Children During Distance Learning

 The ELCD knows that many school districts are beginning the school year with distance learning; therefore, school-age children need care during their parent’s work hours. The ELCD also knows that questions have arisen about how to interpret California Code of Regulations, Title 5 (5 CCR), section 18076.2, which does not allow CalWORKs Stage 2 (C2AP), CalWORKs Stage 3 (C3AP), California Alternative Payment Program (CAPP), California Migrant Alternative Payment Program (CMAP), and Family Child Care Home Education Network (CFCC) contractors to reimburse providers during “scheduled instructional minutes” of a public or private educational program that the child is enrolled and attending.  

Since K-12 distance learning does not provide supervision for children, the CDE does not consider it to be scheduled instructional minutes for the purposes of reimbursing providers.  
Therefore, providers shall be reimbursed for care during the time a school-age child is participating in K-12 distance learning and attending their childcare program or provider during the typical school hours.  

If the child is participating in a hybrid model (in-person instruction and distance learning) the provider may only be reimbursed for the time that the child is not receiving in-person instruction.

CHAMPION FOR CHILDREN KRIS PERRY: CHALLENGING INEQUALITY IS PERSONAL

When it comes to speaking up for equality and speaking out against injustice, Kris Perry speaks from experience.

From her early work at the Alameda County Social Services Agency to serving as executive director of First 5 San Mateo County, First 5 California and the First Five Years Fund, Perry has worked tirelessly for three decades to balance the scales of inequity and improve the lives of young children: preventing child abuse, developing innovative early learning programs, increasing access to quality health and boosting investment in low-income children.

On a more personal level, Perry and Sandy Stier defended their right to marry as plaintiffs in the landmark Proposition 8 case, which returned marriage equality to California after a 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

In 2019, Gov. Gavin Newsom appointed Perry to serve as Deputy Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency (CHHS) for Early Childhood Development and as Senior Advisor to the Governor on Implementation of Early Childhood Development Initiatives.
Perry talked about her early role model as a champion for children, the power of connection, concerns about COVID-19’s impact on early childhood, recent Supreme Court rulings on equality and the importance of empowering children to face racial inequities and injustice.

Q. Growing up, who was your champion for children?
A. My mom. She was a kindergarten and first grade teacher. I grew up in Bakersfield and she taught in a public school near the oil fields where the kids were living in poverty and had very little exposure to early literacy or other educational experiences before getting to kindergarten. She was often the person who taught them to read. We all know what a victory that is. What an unbelievable career choice. It’s a testament to the power of public education.

One day during the school year, I would go to school with her. It was the best day of the year. It was fun to go to school, meet the kids. I was maybe 4 years old when I started going with her. I did that all the way through 12th grade.
She was a talented storyteller and read aloud beautifully. She would stop and ask questions, use different voices and draw children into the story. I realized this is how teachers teach. It ignited a passion for learning in kids
