Agreement CCTR-1164 between the City of La Habra and the California Department of Social Services allows the City to provide child care services to approximately 225 children, from newborns to 12 years of age. The program provides full-day care services for approximately 40 infant/toddlers in independently contracted Family Child Care Homes and before/after school care for approximately 185 school-aged children in center-based programs operated by the City.

The purpose of the school-age program is to provide quality childcare services to parents working or attending college/university. The program promotes, supports, and enhances childhood development through quality early childhood educational programming.

The State of California has amended Agreement CCTR-1164 effective November 5, 2021, increasing the Maximum Reimbursable Amount (MRA) payable pursuant to the provisions of the agreement from $2,498,037 to $2,699,728 to provide a cost of living adjustment (COLA) authorized pursuant to Section 265(b) of Assembly Bill 131 (Chapter 116, Statutes of 2021).  Pursuant to the amended agreement, the MRA is being increased from $49.54 per child/per day to $51.55 per child/per day and increases the minimum Child Days of Enrollment Requirement from 50,425 to 52,375.

If approved by the City Council, this amendment would increase the Maximum Reimbursable Amount of Contract CCTR-1164 by $201,691 for the current contract year, from the original contract amount of $2,498,037 to the new contract amount of $2,699,728.

All Child Development Division funding is provided through State or Federal grants; this particular program is entirely funded by the State Department of Social Services.  All program administrative costs are also reimbursed through the contract.  There is no General Fund support necessary for this program.
