Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve the Amendment from the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE), with Arizona Department of Education (ADE) as fiscal agent to provide Child Care Health Consultant (CCHC) Services to high need communities, determined by the ADE in the amount of $4,380 to cover transportation to Tier 1, 2 or 3 schools, along with nursing hours, until June 30, 2016.

Background:

 

Background:

First Things First, an Arizona state program which utilizes funds from Tobacco Tax, are to be spent on increasing quality in child care facilities and pre-schools in Arizona. Cochise County Health Department has three CCHCs who provide consultation services in health and safety issues to childcare facilities and pre-schools. CCHCs receive training in order to provide Health and Safety Assessments, Caring for the Child with Special Needs, Safety and Injury Prevention, Infection Control and Injury Prevention, Nutrition and Physical Activity, Health Promotion for Staff, Parents and Children, Developmentally Appropriate Practices. CCHCs also offer assistance with developing health policies, resources for staff development and parent education. Since most child care providers do not have ready access to health resources to answer questions or assist them in health and safety planning, CCHCs fill this gap.
