EXHIBIT A <br />The Childcare Resources Education, Advancement, and Training for Early Educators (CREATE) <br />program expanded the current Credentialing Program and will give early educators the <br />opportunity to earn degrees in addition to credentials in the same supportive environment. <br />Continuing our successful partnership with Indian River State College, our expansion includes <br />higher education partners Florida Gateway College and University of North Florida. <br />Wellness and Early Intervention: The program will enable Childcare Resources to provide access <br />to mental health services for families, as well as psychoeducational evaluations to children <br />enrolled in the program. Mental health services are conducted through the Mental Health <br />Association (MHA), at the Walk-in Clinic, or another health care provider on an as needed basis. <br />Utilizing the Strengthening Families framework will increase family strengths, enhance child <br />development, and reduce the likelihood of child abuse and neglect. <br />The projected number of unduplicated children to be served is nine (9) and two hundred eighty- <br />eight (288) unduplicated adults. <br />
