County Program Profile: Amador

The QCC County Program Profile provides county data from the Common Data File (CDF) and the Annual Progress Report (APR). For counties that are a part of a consortium, the QCC County Program Profile provides a combined view of the CDF and APR. Both qualitative and quantitative data are presented to provide a local view of early learning and care climate.

Time Period: 2019–2020

QRIS :: Amador Quality for Kids

Amador County is specifically administered by First 5 Amador and local partners (Q4K). Since 2017, three sites have been rated. Q4K is focusing on universal developmental screenings, adult-child interactions, nutrition and fitness, et cetera. Incentives are available for professional development, program and environment assessments, et cetera.

Process to Outreach/Onboard Programs and Providers

We promote through our First 5 website, Facebook, monthly newsletter, and ongoing meetings. We recruit whenever and wherever possible. Word of mouth, provider to provider, is very effective.

Quality Improvement Program Support Strategies

We work with our Hub, regional resources (California Preschool Instructional Network), Family Resource Network, resource and referral agencies, and others to bring training opportunities to our county. We do not currently have coaches and have recently recruited a former family child care provider with extensive education and background in the field.

Local Approach to Offering Financial Incentives and Stipends

To date, we have not offered incentives based on rating scores. We do offer incentives/stipends for continuing education, training, and self and outside evaluations (i.e., ERS). We also provide support such as playground stencils, on-site literacy coaching, et cetera.

Testimonial

I found the coaching via technology to be more helpful than most college classes I took for ECE.

Success Story

A Family Child Care Provider shared: Having opportunities to share ideas with others through our local consortium helps with my day-to-day challenges.
