Any funding derived from this application will be directly paid to providers <br /> in the form of childcare subsidy. None of these funds will be used to cover administrative <br /> expenses. <br /> 5. How will the target population be made aware of the program? <br /> The Coalition' s Resource and Referral component is responsible for letting eligible clients know <br /> of the program offerings . They accomplish this through Yellow Pages and newspaper <br /> advertising; word of mouth among clients; constant interaction with other social service <br /> agencies ; participation in community awareness programs such as Stand For Children and <br /> Treasure Coast Life Styles Expo hosted by Treasure Coast Square Mall, and daily interactions <br /> with childcare providers. Resource and Referral Specialists are located in the Vero Beach office <br /> and when needed will set up in certain other geographic locations within the county, such as <br /> Sebastian or Fellsmere. <br /> 6. How will the program be accessible to target population (i.e., location, transportation, <br /> hours of operation) ? <br /> Child care providers are located throughout the county, and parents have the option of placing <br /> their children with the provider that best suits the needs of the parent and child. Parents provide <br /> their own transportation, usually dropping the child off on the way to work. Child care providers <br /> contracted with the Coalition are required to be open for at least 10 hours/day and some have <br /> flexible evening and/or weekend hours. CCR&R has extensive information available on <br /> individual provider programs. <br /> 7 <br />
