Item to be presented by:
Jeff Kolin
SUBJECT: Options for Implementing Child Care Services
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation--> '* J/s'] `
BACKGROUND
In March 1990, the City retained the temporary services of Sheri Senter, Ed.D
from National Pediatrics Support Services, an Irvine based consulting firm, as
the City Child Care Coordinator. For the last six months, the City has been
working with the Santa Clarita Valley Child Care Task Force Steering Committee
to plan and coordinate efforts for the development of quality, affordable broad
based range of child care options in Santa Clarita Valley. The work of the
City's child care grant has been completed. The City has facilitated the: 1)
establishment of local child care resource center, 2) development of a child
care technical committee, 3) development of public/private consortium and 4)
conducted a comprehensive assessment of community child care needs.
The culmination of this community effort has resulted in a Long Range Child Care
Plan Report for the City of Santa Clarita, which was presented to the City
Council by Dr. Sheri Senter, Ed.D , on August 14, 1990. This report and its
accompanying recommendations provide a comprehensive plan of action which
defines the child care issues in Santa Clarita and identifies strategies to
address .these critical issues.
The long range plan is based on the needs which arose from invaluable input and
participation from the City, the Santa Clarita Valley Child Care Task Force
Steering Committee, Child Care Resource Center and members of the Technical
Committee, Consortium and the findings of the needs assessment which involved
focus groups meetings, open forums and the written child care survey.
As an initial step in carrying forth the City's role to pro -actively facilitate
the development and expansion of affordable, quality and broad-based child
development services for Santa Clarita, City staff has. delineated several
options to implement child care services based on the determined child care
needs and the City's Long Range Plan. A detailed summary of these options is
included in this report as Attachment 1.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider the following options for
implementing childcare services and.provide direction to staff.

OPTIONS FOR IMPLEMENTING CHILDCARE SERVICES
1. Direct staff to A) develop a plan to place modular facilities on
public parks and/or schools for use as childcare facilities; B)
Conduct a competitive selection process to determine the best
provider of affordable quality childcare services to operate the
facility; and C) develop a time line and cost estimate for
facilities in Canyon Country, Saugus and Newhall.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Preliminary cost estimates for 1,440 square foot modular structure
on City -owned or donated land is $70,000. This size facility would
serve approximately 27 pre-school children or 50 latch -key
children, and have annual maintenance, repair and utility costs of
approximately $10,000. Childcare programs would be provided under
contract by a private vendor, and financed through participant
fees. The City would. also incur some additional costs for
provision of utility and sewer hook-ups estimated at $5,000 to
$10,000, depending on site conditions. (See Attachment 2 for floor
plan and specifications.)
2. Direct staff to pursue the development of a package developer
incentives and requirements designed to encourage the growth and
development of affordable quality childcare options. Some possible
measures include:
Speedier processing for developments which include childcare
facilities.
- Reduced parking requirements for facilities with childcare
facilities.
- Require master planned projects to include childcare
facilities.
- Include the need for childcare facilities in the developer
impact fee analysis.
- Reduce processing fees for childcare facilities.
- Allow increased density for projects that include childcare
facilities.
3. Direct staff to A) research, develop and recommend family-oriented
benefits and policies for employees which would enable the City of
Santa Clarita to become a_ model employer. The City currently
provides family sick_ days to its employees. Possible benefits
could include:
a dependent care assistance plan,
flexible work schedules,
Parenting education seminars, and
resource and referal services.
B) to continue to be an active participant in the child care
consortium and provide the public partnership with the private
sector to address shared, common child care needs of employers. C)
Study the impact of and provide a recommendation for vendor
preference programs, whereby the City would give preferential
treatment to vendors providing child care benefits for their
employees.
4. Direct staff to A) facilitate, streamline and expedite the current
licensing process for child care programs in the community by
developing a "one-stop" informational and processing center at City
Hall; B) continue to direct the work of the technical committee.
The committee's recommended work plan would include, but would not
limited to:
Facilitating the licensing process by identifying and/or
addressing areas where conflicts and duplication exist with
the City, county and state requirements.
Provide recommendations to the City on childcare policies, as
they relate to permit and licensing rules, regulations and
procedures and zoning ordinances.
- Develop a planning guide that describes the licensing process
for child care centers, child care on school sites and small
and large family day care homes.
Act as a review board for provider applications.
C) Study and provide a recommendation to the City Council on
reducing the current City permit and filing fees for child care
providers and other additional charges for providers, business or
developers building and managing child care facilities.
5. Direct staff to pursue the development of community awareness and
public information plan to provide information, education and
promote the services and resources available to.residents of Santa
Clarita. Some of the possible components would include:
Establishing of a childcare directory or childcare service
for Welcome Wagons.
P.S.A.'s on bus shelters.
Informational mailings to community organizations.
- Articles in Municipal Report and other community
publications, radio announcements and press releases.
- Community . outreach by childcare coordinator at community
events.
0 0
Work with childcare resource center to encourage the licensing of
currently unlicensed family day care providers and educate the
community on quality indicators and the cost of child care services.
Co-sponsor one -day seminars, conferences, and community events.
Provide City recognition for childcare programs accredited by the
National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)
and National Association of Family Day Care (NAFDC).
