including the connection with the 2018-2019 Needs Assessment and timeline.

Slides used are enclosed as official part of the minutes.

7. Public Hearing: TheState of Early Care andEducation in MarinCounty

Participants were divided in two groups to discuss the 2018-2019 Needs Assessment key findings: Quality & Workforce and Access & Coordination (Key findings enclosed and considered official part of the minutes). The discussion was guided by two questions: 1) Why is this happening?. 2) What are potential solutions/strategies? Below are the notes from each group:

Quality & Workforce Why is this happening?

The cost of living is too high

Teachers are not being offered medical benefits

Education is expensive (not making a lot of money and not enough time)

Parents do not understand what it means to be ready for kindergarten

Kids can make $20/hr making coffee without any education

What are potential solutions/strategies?

Tax breaks for local businesses to help offset childcare costs

Preschools could come together to be a buying group for benefits

Offer TK throughout Marin (keep it developmental appropriate)

Structural changes so ECE is under education, not Healthy & Human

Services

Need a long term coordinator to support ECE potential teachers to

complete training

Push to increase certificate (12 ECE units) attainment in community college

(for stronger workforce)

Unionize to bind together benefits

Pre-K / K-12 Parity

Access & Coordination Why is this happening?

Not enough slots/spaces available for families of infants

Page 4: MARIN COUNTY CHILD CARE COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA...MARIN COUNTY CHILD CARE COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Tuesday, May 7th, 2019 – 3:00 to 5:00 P.M. at the Marin Community Foundation

Page 3 of 6

Cost of providing Infant and Toddler care

High demand for services for children with special needs

Disproportionate funding available to centers vs. family child care providers

Lack of story/data about care provided by family, friends, and neighbors

What are potential solutions/strategies?

Provide more finding to family child care homes to support general

operations and professional development

Count infants who are in license-exempt/informal child care (e.g. provided

by family, friend or neighbor)

More funding for existing Title 22 programs from state

More funding to increase family eligibility

8. MemberAnnouncements

Commissioner Andrade-Wolf shared information about SB 234 (Skinner) – Family daycare homes and asked commissioners to support the bill.

Key Findings

2018/2019 Marin County Early Learning and Care Needs Assessment

1. Over 70% of children in Marin County have all parents working (ACCESS &

COORDINATION)

Children under the age of six in Marin County are more likely to have all parents working, 74%

compared to 63% statewide.

2. Compared to statewide, fewer families with children under 18 in Marin County have

income low enough to qualify for subsidized child care. (ACCESS & COORDINATION)

In 2018, the average monthly housing wage in Marin is $10,403, which is 98% above the income

cutoff for child care subsidy eligibility and 84% higher than the statewide average (Figure 8).

Approximately one-fourth of families with children live in households with an income below

$60,000. According to Census data, this is lower than the share statewide, where 43% of children

live in families whose income qualifies them for subsidized child care under the annual income

threshold approximated at $60,000.

3. The cost of child care is substantially higher in Marin County than in California overall

(ACCESS & COORDINATION)

Families in Marin County pay more for child care in both child care centers and family child care

homes as compared to the average family statewide as well as compared to the cost of child care

in Marin in prior years (California Child Care Resource and Referral Network, 2013). The average

cost for center-based preschool care is 39% higher in Marin than the statewide average. For

center-based infant care, families may pay up to 28% more than the statewide average. In 2016,

the cost of child care was over 50% higher for both child care centers and family child care homes

compared to 2012 (Error! Reference source not found.).

4. Although the median income is higher in Marin County than the statewide average, the

county has one of the highest Self-Sufficiency Standards in the state. (ACCESS &

COORDINATION)

The median family income in Marin County is $118,400, or $9,867 per month, which is $4,611

above the income ceiling for subsidized child care for a family of four, but the County has one of

the highest Self-Sufficiency Standards in the state: for a family of four with one infant and one

preschooler, the annual income necessary to cover all basic living expenses is $149,545. Families

earning at the median income are earning above the income ceiling for subsidized child care, but

below the Self-Sufficiency Standard.

Page 20: MARIN COUNTY CHILD CARE COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA...MARIN COUNTY CHILD CARE COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Tuesday, May 7th, 2019 – 3:00 to 5:00 P.M. at the Marin Community Foundation

5. The great majority of families seek child care due to parent employment. (ACCESS &

COORDINATION)

According to the 2017 California Child Care Portfolio, 90% of families seek child care due to parent

employment, five percent due to parent in school or training, and five percent due to parent

seeking employment (California Child Care Resource and Referral Network, 2017). The majority

of requests for child care made in 2016 were for children under the age of two.

6. There was a decline in the overall supply of child care slots1 in Marin County from 2014 to

2017. (ACCESS & COORDINATION/QUALITY & WORKFORCE)

From 2014 to 2017, the number of child care slots decreased by seven percent. Child care centers

experienced an overall 10% decrease in the number of child care slots from 2014 to 2017, which

is consistent with the 11% decrease in the number of child care center sites. Contractors are

unable to staff available classrooms due to a lack of teachers in Marin County, thereby restricting

the capacity of contractors to serve families in need of child care (Marin County Child Care

Commission, 2018).

7. Providers in Marin County are unable to meet the demands for child care (QUALITY &

WORKFORCE)

Child care slots are not available to almost half (46%) of infants and toddlers with working parents

and to about two thirds (63%) of school-aged children with working parents Among infant and

toddlers in working families who qualify for subsidized child care (with income at/below 70% State

Median Income (SMI)), over 60% are not receiving subsidized child care. For school-aged children

in working families, 54% of those who are eligible for state subsidies are not receiving subsidized

child care. Though there is a surplus of full-time preschool child care slots for working families of

all incomes, there is an unmet need for part-time preschool child care slots for enrichment and

school readiness

8. Turnover is an impactful issue at most licensed child care centers (QUALITY &

WORKFORCE)

Almost 75% of centers had at least one staff member quit in 2014. Over half (58%) of the staff

that quit were teachers and 36% were assistant teachers. Publicly funded centers had a larger

percentage (65%) of teachers quitting (Quinto, 2015).

9. Many child care providers struggle to cover the cost of living with current wages (QUALITY

& WORKFORCE)

Low wages lead to many providers seeking public income support. The last workforce study

conducted in the county (2015) indicated that the mean hourly wage for the highest paid teachers

at child care centers is $25.46, while the mean hourly wage for the lowest paid teachers is $17.49.

The highest paid assistant teachers are paid a mean hourly wage of $14.33, and the lowest are

paid $14.10 (Quinto, 2015).

I have always had a passion for improving the lives of children. Through my work at San Francisco Head Start I witnessed firsthand the positive impact a quality childcare can have on families in general, and especially those that may be struggling to make ends meet. I strongly believe that we as a community have a responsibility to ensure that all children have access to the resources and opportunities that will help them to succeed in school and beyond. In order to achieve this, we need to support our childcare providers to ensure they have the resources they need to foster our children’s health and social-emotional well-being.

Text will be limited to 2000 characters. (Please add attachments for additional information if necessary.)

I am applying for the Marin Childcare Commission because I am interested in representing Marin County Health & Human Services on this commission in order to link the important work being done with current and future HHS efforts and resources. As a parent of two young children (3 and 6), I am familiar with the value of quality childcare and the challenges of finding quality AND affordable care from a parent perspective. As a former employee of San Francisco Head Start and a current employee of HHS, I have had the ability to understand and support the licensing requirements of childcare providers regarding health, safety and emergency preparedness. Through designing and implementing a Childcare Preparedness Workshop in collaboration with Marin Childcare Council, Family Child Care Council, Marin First 5 and others, I had an opportunity to build relationships with several providers. I was able to gain more insight into the challenges providers face in a variety of areas, including maintaining and training qualified staff, ensuring all of the licensing requirements are met, providing an enriching and safe environment with limited

resources, and supporting children and their families in various capacities.

Text will be limited to 1500 characters. (Please add attachments for additional information if necessary.)

As a resident of Marin County and a mother of two young children, it is important to me that all children are given the tools they need to be happy, healthy and well adjusted. My personal, educational, and professional experience has offered me a broad understanding of the issues that impact a child’s well-being. While in the Peace Corps and with Head Start I worked with diverse communities around issues of health, safety and women’s empowerment. The skills and relationships that I have built over the past decade in Marin County have prepared me to be an informed, productive, and supportive commissioner who will advocate for solutions to childcare issues in all of my personal and professional venues. My current position with Marin County Public Health has allowed me to become familiar with the data that illustrates the inequities within our community. The disparities that we are witnessing in Marin are reparable and I am committed to doing what I can to advance equity. I believe that my extensive and varied experiences, along with my passion for this community and this population make me an excellent addition to the commission.

Text will be limited to 1500 characters. (Please add attachments for additional information if necessary.)I have had the opportunity to work with many different people from many different backgrounds throughout my life. In the Peace Corps I was privileged to live and work with the Malagasy people for over two years. To this day, living in Madagascar and working with locals on public health issues is one of the highlights of my life. I learned a great deal about myself and about another culture. By building strong relationships and understanding the values of the community and the challenges that they face, I was able to engage community members in projects and/or activities to improve the health of the community. More recently, I have worked with various community groups related to emergency preparedness. These groups consist of members from Marin City, the Canal, and individuals with disabilities.

LOCAL PLANNING COUNCIL ANNUAL SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES REPORT

Agency Name: Marin County Child Care Commission County: Marin

Address: 1111 Las Gallinas Avenue San Rafael, CA 94903

Contract Number: CLPC-XXXX Contract Amount: $ 55,896

Attach copies of any publications that have been printed during the year using contract funds. Do not send copies of meeting minutes or agendas. This form must be submitted to the LPC Consultant on the dates specified in the contract. Mail this form to: LPC Consultant, Early Education and Support Division, California Department of Education, 1430 N Street, Suite 3410, Sacramento, CA 95814-5901. This report should not exceed one page. If publications are not attached, this form may be submitted electronically to Elizabeth A. Golchert, Education Programs Consultant, Early Education and Support Division, at [email protected].

1. List three major activities and accomplishments during the contract reporting period:

• Facilitated the creation of the 2018-2019 Marin County Early Learning and Care Needs Assessment Report, which was created with data collection support by Mission Analytics Group with funds from First 5 Marin. Additionally, facilitated the decisions regarding the Pilot Plan with local stakeholders.

• Hosted a West Marin Community Meeting on Early Care and Education in November 2018 and the 4th Annual Marin County Community Meeting on Early Care and Education in April 2019 with attendance of approximately 30 community members each representing a diverse range of stakeholders (i.e. Family-based and Title V child care providers, consumers, residents, etc.). These events were strategies implemented for qualitative data collection that will be considered in the 2020-2025 Master Plan design process.

• Updated our Local Funding Priority Report with the support of Nilsson Consulting, working together with various stakeholders on the analysis of the data and changes in priorities previously submitted.

2. Identify problems and proposed resolutions to local planning issues and activities:

Based on our 2013 needs assessment, one of the main problems identified in planning issues and activities was the lack of knowledge of various stakeholders about early care and education and out of school time needs in Marin County. We continue working to address this need through various strategies outlined in our commission’s strategic plan. Unfortunately, with 50% reduction in our funds since 2009, but the maintenance of the same mandates, our ability to effectively implement the plan is limited.

Additionally, as shared in our 2017-2019 report, ECE professionals, especially Center Directors, have limited time available to participate in planning activities because the demand for their time increased with the evolution of coordinated efforts to increase quality, including trainings and other meetings. We have been working to address these issues by facilitating access to meetings with the use of electronic tools and by aligning and leveraging existing efforts.

3. Coordination/Collaboration Efforts (California First 5, CalSAFE, Native American Indian Tribes, etc.): Existing partnerships were strengthened, especially because of efforts associated with the 2018-2019 Marin County Early Learning and Care Needs Assessment and the 2020-2025 Master Plan. We also engaged various local organizations as supporters of the aforementioned community meetings. The following are other collaborative efforts in which we participated this year: 1) Locally - ECE partnership (composed of the County Superintendent, First Five Marin, the R&R, program manager at the office of education, health and human services), the Marin Quality Counts Consortia, ,and the County of Marin Fair Housing Steering Committee; 2) Statewide - California Child Care Coordinators Association (CCCCA); and 2) Regionally - the Bay Area Childcare Coordinators Committee.

AB 1001 (Ting) – Childcare: local planning councils

Expresses legislative intent to appropriate a total of $10 million annually for local child care and development planning councils (LPCs). Would amend existing law pertaining to the local child care and development planning councils by: 1) specifying the composition of the LPCs; 2) requiring LPCs to encourage public input on the development of local priorities and foster partnerships to address local child care needs; 3) identifying facilities for the provision of child care services; and more.

AB-324 (Aguiar-Curry) - Childcare services: state subsidized childcare: employee retention funds

Would amend existing law that allocates funds to the local child care and development councils (LPCs) to address the retention of qualified early educators working with children in state subsidized centers. This bill proposes that these funds be also used for licensed child care programs that serve a majority of children who receive subsidized child care services, including, but not limited to, family daycare homes.
