TO: CHILD CARE COMMISSION
FROM: CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
CHILD CARE FUND
A. Attached is a revised version of the Introduction to the Child Care Fund. ICRI would like
feedback from the Commission regarding the accuracy and acceptability of this
document.
B. ICRI would like to facilitate a discussion about raising money for the fund, other than
developer fees. (ICRI sees this discussion as part of the planning process for overseeing
the fund.)
C. To the best of our knowledge, a name for the fund has not yet been determined. It will
soon be necessary to choose a name. ICRI will work with the Commission to determine
possible names. (This process will be more efficient if the Commissioners have ideas in
mind prior to the meeting. ICRI will also provide a few names.)
Agenda Item 1
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CHILD CARE FUND
Introduction
The City of Carlsbad Child Care Fund has been established for the purpose of
improving the quality and quantity of child care programs within this city. The Child
Care Fund provides monies to providers of family day care homes and child care
centers.
Priorities for funding include increasing the quantity of child care through site
improvements and improving quality through equipment procurement and education
and training for child care providers. Special attention will be given to the availability of
quality, affordable care for infants, mildly ill children, minorities, and other segments of
the population identified as having a great need.
Funding for this program is provided through residential and commercial development
fees, contributions from local businesses, foundations and corporations. The Child Care
Fund is overseen by the Board of Directors. The current Board Members are the City of
Carlsbad Child Care Commissioners.
Application Process
The City's Child Care Commission coordinates the allocation of funds. The allocation
review process is conducted in the following manner:
A. Commission sends out Request for Proposals (RFP).
B. Providers given reasonable time to respond.
C. Commission reviews proposals.
D. Commission may request further information from providers.
E. Commission makes final decision on allocation of funds.
Guidelines for Eligibility
A set of guidelines has been established for both child care centers and family day care
homes. Allocation of funds will be made for the following:
Child Care Center
1) Interior site improvement, i.e. brick and mortar (One time only)
2) Exterior site improvements (One time only)
3) Equipment purchase or procurement
4) Education and training of staff
5) Production of Community Seminar(s) for providers
Agenda Item 1
Family Day Care Home
1) Training and education of providers and staff
2) Equipment (non-fixtures) purchase or procurement
3) Production of Community Seminar(s) for providers
Criteria
In both cases, evaluators will review the proposals using the following criteria:
1) Does the project increase the quality of child care in the identified need areas?
2) Does the project increase the quantity of available child care in the identified need
areas?
3) Does the project increase the knowledge of care givers?
4) Is the project feasible?
5) Is the project cost effective?
6) Are all necessary funding sources available for implementation of project?
7) Is the child care center or family day care home a viable program?

PROJECT UPDATES
Information/Resource List: Attached is the Information/Resource List with the changes that the
Child Care Commission requested last month. If there is no additional editing, copies of the list
will be printed and distributed from several of the locations listed on the Distribution Locations
for Information Materials (also attached). The Commissioners had reviewed this distribution list
on September 26, 1991.
Child Care Bibliography: ICRI has been working with staff at the Carlsbad City Library to make
resources more easily accessible. First, ICRI provided the library with an extensive list of books
and periodicals that we feel would enhance the library's current collection of materials for parents
and providers. The library reviewed the list and, over time, will add some of these titles to their
collection.
ICRI and library staff also discussed the development and printing of bibliographies of titles
currently available at the library. These bibliographies would be available to anyone interested
in child care who comes into the library. They have now completed and printed a bibliography
of child care titles to be made available at the information desk for anyone who asks for
information on child care. A copy of this list is attached. ICRI and library staff have agreed that
further bibliographic lists like this one will continue to be created.
City of Carlsbad Child Care Information Resource List
Created through the efforts of the Carlsbad Child Care Commission
This resource list has been created for parents,
family day care providers and child care center
providers. The list is coded in order to assist you
in locating information. At the bottom right-hand
corner of each listing, there is a code. "P"
indicates information in which parents may be
most interested. "F* indicates information in
which family day care providers may be most
interested. "C" indicates information in which
child care center providers may be most
interested. These codes are meant only to assist
you in finding information, not to limit you.

PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
During the Child Care Commission meeting in February, several Commissioners reported that
they were going to meet with organizations focusing on child care issues. Specifically,
Commissioners Gilk and L'Esperance had a meeting planned with the Family Day Care
Association, and Commissioner Mead was planning to meet with the Oceanside Task Force.
ICRI would like to hear reports from those who did attend such meetings and promote a
discussion among the Commissioners on specific ways they might be able to increase the
awareness of the community about the work they are doing.
