Early Learning Coalition of Indian River, Martin and Okeechobee Counties Inc. <br /> RFP - Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br /> 3. REPORTING: What will you do with this information to show that change has <br /> occurred? How will you use or present these results to the consumer, the funder, the <br /> program, and the community? How will you use this information to improve your <br /> program ? <br /> With 8% of the population living below the poverty level, there is a tremendous need for dollars <br /> to provide the resources necessary for the children in these situations to be afforded the same <br /> educational opportunities as their peers in settings with higher standards of living. Providing <br /> subsidized child care to families between 0 — 200 % of the federal poverty level will reduce the <br /> number of children not currently receiving educational opportunities and help to increase the <br /> number of working families who will rise above the 200% FPL. It is the intent of the Legislature <br /> that school readiness programs not exist as isolated programs, but build upon existing services <br /> and work in cooperation with other programs for young children, and that school readiness <br /> programs be coordinated and funding integrated to achieve full effectiveness for all children. <br /> All information gathered will be compared to the baseline in order to determine the extent of <br /> change . Screening results will be shared with the parent and the child' s child care provider. <br /> Results of the developmental and social/emotional screenings are also shared with the child' s <br /> Kindergarten teacher, with parental permission. General (not individual) reports on screenings <br /> are given to the Coalition and the Office of Early Learning, and are shared with the community <br /> through the Coalition' s annual report. <br /> Parents, child care providers, and the Coalition will use screening results to continually assess <br /> each child' s individual needs and make referrals for follow-up services. The Coalition utilizes all <br /> other available information to assess and make improvements to programs and services. <br /> 10 <br />
