June 2022 Featured Agency Highlight
Community based public and private Alternative Payment Programs (APPs) support the needs of working moms and dads with access to child care and other supports earmarked to lift families up from poverty. During the pandemic, these programs have distributed emergency essential worker child care vouchers, family child care and center stipends & PPE, diapers, food and clothing. Throughout California, these APPs may also support parental choice to CalWORKs Stages 2 & 3, preschool and center-based programs, general child care, After School Education and Safety (ASES), Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), Family Child Care Home Education Networks (FCCHENs), transportation, behavioral & mental health services, respite, regional centers, health and safety, 21st Century, resource libraries, and Trustline.
Changing Tides Family Services
"For more than four decades, Changing Tides Family Services has been proud to serve Humboldt County through times of challenge and change. We are excited to share our 2021 Annual Impact Report as a reflection of this journey and our gratitude in being able to serve our community. During the second year of the pandemic, we provided almost 40,000 hours of disability respite services; over $5.7 million in childcare vouchers out to parents; more than half a million dollars in direct stipends to child care providers; and supported almost 200 children and their families with behavioral health needs. As parents, partners, neighbors, and friends, Humboldt is our home. We are grateful for your trust and support, as we look forward to helping build a more resilient and healthy community."

Get to know them and the full scope of their work with this Impact Report, highlighting how they are supporting the needs of family child care providers and families in their community.
$97 Billion Surplus Create Real Opportunity for Strategic Change

California has nearly a billion-dollar surplus. That type of financial cushion should provide a framework to have hard conversations and make real long-term changes in a number of areas including school funding and child care.

However, there are no real strategic plans or conversations that are happening.

Rather, we have a governor whose actions indicate that monies should continue to be thrown at issues such as school funding with a prayer that something good will come from the enhanced funding. All the while, meaningful infusions of new and ongoing monies dedicated to shoring up California's existing child care workforce and capacity of family child care providers and centers continue to be starved. Schools will be overfunded even though there has been an exodus of children and a drop in enrollment projected to continue. Schools will be tasked to create classrooms for three and four year old's not because children can be better served. No, it is because the numbers for California's public school system need to be increased and the schools can continue to claim average daily attendance. However, child care that is desperately needed by all working private pay and subsidized families particularly infant care is being pushed aside.

What is wrong with this picture?

Unfortunately, we have a governor that never had to deal with a lack of child care so that he and his wife could work. They simply had the good fortune and money to hire nannies and tutors while sending their children to the finest private schools. Even during the height of the pandemic where schools were closed and parents had to quit jobs to care for their children, this was not a problem in the least for our governor. And therein lies part of the problem that has been seen from the moment this governor was elected. He is truly out of touch with the day-to-day struggles of real working parents, those barely making minimum wage, those that must report to their job by 6:00 am or work nights and weekends.

This governor is out of touch. He continues to throw monies at public schools that still by and large are only available during unrealistic hours for working parents. He has no concept of the chaos he has created by ignoring the needs of child care workers that have no health or retirement benefits and must work 40-plus hour weeks just to be able to put food on their own tables.

This governor has no true idea what a child care desert really is. If he did, then he would know that in nearly every single county in this state there exists a child care desert. If he truly understood the crisis then he would know that access to infant and toddler care is only available to a select few.

Has this governor even tried to really understand the complexities and chaos that exists in California's child care system? This is a resounding NO!

If the governor is asked about child care, he will embellish an entity he created, the Early Childhood Policy Council. However, here again is a creation of his own doing that respectfully has delivered nothing since launched in 2019. It is my opinion that this masterpiece was created as a way to have child care advocates waste their energy contributing their input to a Council whose work simply has been to highlight work that had previously been done and reported out such as the Assembly Blue Ribbon Commission on Early Childhood Education.

The absolute avoidance of this governor to stop the child care field from spiraling into non existence is concerning. Maybe that is what he wants. If a $97 billion dollar surplus does not provide the cushion for Governor Newsom to lead an honest conversation on the policy and funding needed to stabilize the existing child care capacity, then by his very inaction he is showing us he simply does not care.

Field Q&A's

If you have a question that you would like answered, please submit here.

Question: Are the waivers of family fees and the reimbursement based on enrollment to continue after June 30, 2022?

Answer: As of now, yes. However, Governor Newsom proposed in the May Revision released last Friday that these two policies be extended until June 30, 2023. To be enacted, these policies must be incorporated into the 2022-23 Budget Act and signed by June 30, 2022.
Network and CAPPA 2022 Virtual Joint Conference!
2022 Conference
The Time is Now! Save the Date and join your peers for an amazing virtual event! We will continue to 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 once again create a conference event that meets as many of our members’ needs as possible through virtual sessions and workshops. We know how important it is for our community to stay connected, stand united, and continue to meet challenges 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. 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
The format will be very similar to 2021. 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 will also be incorporating more networking opportunities to connect you with your peers. Post conference, workshop sessions will be recorded and available for viewing for one whole month. This will provide additional learning opportunities for conferees following the conference dates.

A Message To Providers: Receive Your Supplemental Funds!
"After more than a year of organizing and bargaining efforts from providers in CCPU, our hard-fought supplement pay has finally started to arrive in our mailboxes. This is so exciting!

But don’t just take it from us, listen to Annette Nicholson, a provider from Stockton, who was on the negotiating team and knows how important this is to so many of us.

“I am grateful to be a part of a union of fellow providers advocating for this long-overdue increase in pay in bargaining with the state. We have been called “essential” since March of 2020 but with these payments, it finally feels like the state is acknowledging the essential nature of the care we provide.”

That’s the respect we’ve been looking for and it’s just the beginning. Starting in the next fiscal year, we will begin to receive monthly payments and our union will continue to negotiate with the state to make these permanent. This is an example of what we can achieve when we work together. A victory like this would not have been possible even a few years ago.

The pandemic has placed great strain on us but we continue to step up and show how essential we are to the families and communities we serve. While supplemental wages will help so many of us, it’s only part of what we need to be successful personally and professionally. We need support from the state when it comes to retirement, healthcare, and continuing to raise pay too. Without additional support, we will not be able to stay in this job or recruit the next generation of child care providers.

If you still have questions about supplement pay, if you haven’t received your check in the mail, or if you believe you may be eligible, please visit the Foundation for California Community Colleges for more information or call the CCPU Supplemental Pay hotline at (916) 980-8998."

NOTE: Many providers who are eligible have already applied when it was announced in March, and this is an effort to get those who have not yet applied to do so.

See below for additional resources to help ensure you receive your supplemental funds:

Can child care and pre-K help reduce inflation?
Inflation has recently emerged as the top economic concern in the U.S. The Federal Reserve is now raising interest rates in an attempt to curb inflation, but their job would be easier, and the risk of a recession reduced, if we could directly address some of the job market bottlenecks that are contributing to inflation. This phenomenon has been called “the Great Resignation” – where there are too few workers to fill currently available jobs – because some have left the labor market, while others are reluctant to accept or keep jobs there. The aging of the U.S. population and a recent decline in immigration compound these effects.

Federal Update - Reconciliation
This week, Congress is in a recess so our federal update remains similar to last week’s memo. ICYMI, last week, Senator Manchin (D-WV) spoke with Axios affirming that he's earnestly engaged in talks with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) over a reconciliation package, reviving hopes for action this year. More here.
 
Folks remain hopeful that the Senate will include the child care and early learning plan this summer as part of an economic package. We must keep pressure on the Senate to ensure that the Murray/Kaine child care and early learning proposal is included in the economic package currently being crafted. More on their proposal is below.
 
Take action with partners:
 
On May 16th, Senators Murray (D-WA) and Kaine (D-VA) officially announced their revamped child care and early learning reconciliation proposal (Center for Law and Social Policy: Murray-Kaine Child Care Reconciliation Plan Would Expand Access to 1M+ Children, Lower Costs and Get Parents Back to Work), along with a powerful state-by-state analysis from CLASP.
 
Resources on the proposal:
 
  1. Webinar - Federal Funding for Child Care: A National Webinar for Home-Based Child Care Educators
 
For the past year, advocates have urged Congress to make a massive new investment to improve access to child care and compensation for child care educators. When Build Back Better stalled in December, the path forward became unclear. Now Senators Patty Murray (WA) and Tim Kaine (VA) have a new proposal to increase funding for child care, pre-k, and Head Start.
 
This webinar for licensed Family Child Care and license-exempt Family, Friend, and Neighbor providers will discuss what’s in the new proposal, how it will benefit you, and how you can support it. The hour-long webinar will be in English with simultaneous interpretation into Spanish. (Description in Spanish available on registration page).

Blog - 4 Reasons the U.S. Economy Needs Comprehensive Child Care
Last week, the Center for American Progress’ Early Childhood Team released an article entitled, “4 Reasons the U.S. Economy Needs Comprehensive Child Care.” This article highlights four key areas where businesses benefit from working parents’ (including their own employees) ability to find reliable and affordable child care for their children, and the ramifications this has for local and broader economies.  
 
  1. Lowering costs for families boosts their spending power 
  2. Stabilizing businesses by reducing worker turnover 
  3. Encouraging labor force participation, particularly among mothers of young children
  4. Supporting parents’ mental well-being and boosting productive capacity 
 
While recent federal rescue dollars have achieved their goal of stabilizing the child care sector against collapse, families and businesses alike need comprehensive federal investments to stabilize the workforce, and allow for economic recovery, and growth. 
 
Easy retweet here.


 Article - A First Lady Undeterred 
Harper’s Bazaar has published a new profile of First Lady Dr. Jill Biden where she underscores her commitment to child care. Excerpt: 
 
She hasn’t just read the headlines about the childcare crisis that has driven women out of the workforce; she’s also seen it in her classes. The semester she taught over Zoom, children crawled through screen after screen. 
 
“I will keep talking about childcare and pushing childcare and hoping that we get it,” she says. “Families need it—not just women. I hear that all across America.”


Article - Child Care Providers Are Organizing, Demanding More, and Winning
A new article in The Nation describes how a growing number of states have stepped up to enact major changes aimed at stabilizing the sector. This article features quotes from partners at Community Change, CLASP, Child Care Aware of America, CT Early Childhood Alliance, and others. Excerpt: 
 
Childcare providers promise that they aren’t going to let up until they secure the long-term funding the sector needs to stay solvent. The providers and advocates who organized the Day Without Childcare are clear that May 9 was just the first of many actions to come. It’s “phase one,” Marte said. They’re hoping to continue to hold large-scale protests and events to keep the pressure on lawmakers at all levels. “It is so clear that the economy runs on child care,” Marte said. “It’s time that we actually make public policy that resembles that truth.”
 
“They’re either going to make massive changes or massive investments in early childhood education, or we’re going to keep closing it down,” Kelly Jones said.


Report - Can child care and pre-K help reduce inflation? 
A new report from Brookings explains how investment in child care and early learning could help reduce inflation. Excerpt:
 
As we have indicated, the strongest case for funding child care is not the problem of high inflation, where its effects would be limited and uncertain. The more important need is to address the causes of the long-term shortfall of women with young children in the labor force, which enacting the Biden proposal would do.
 
Although the combined effects of more child care assistance and free pre-K on inflation in the short-run are likely small, they are almost surely in the right direction. Moreover, by substantially reducing the costs of care, they would provide families with more income with which to offset the higher costs of food, energy, and other items. Most importantly, these policies would raise labor force participation and GDP over the longer run. Add to that their effects on children’s life trajectories, and they are a triple winner. Though perhaps too ambitious for the current political moment, the potential gains of this broader package of policies should not be forgotten.


Analysis - New Community Profiles on Using American Rescue Plan Funds for Kids 
Last week, the Children’s Funding Project released three community profiles that highlight how states and communities are creatively using American Rescue Plan funds for young children, including expanding child care for infants and toddlers and creatively supporting the needs of kids.
 
The profiles provide a local perspective on how three communities (Deschutes County, OR; Anne Arundel County, MD; and St. Louis, MO) can use American Rescue Plan funds to their fullest, including the most important lessons learned by each place. Deschutes County used over half of its allotted funds (totaling $14 million) to invest in new child care slots and child care worker training programs. Read them all here.

Family Fee Waivers for FY 2022–23 
Attention: All California State Preschool Program Executive Directors, Program Directors, and other interested parties 
  
The budget conversations between the Legislature and the Governor are ongoing and no version of the budget has been signed by the Governor yet. However, to ensure a greater burden is not placed on the subsidized early education field based on potential changes in the budget, the CDE asks all California State Preschool Program contractors to continue to hold off on family fee billing and collection for July 2022, until the final version of the budget is signed by the Governor. When the final bill language is completed and has been signed by the Governor, the CDE will issue additional guidance related to family fees.
