County Program Profile: Alpine and Mono Consortium
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: 2023–2024

Process to Outreach/Onboard Programs and Providers
We engage in orientation, beginning- and end-of-the-year meetings with providers, web posting, and distribute flyers with Alternative Payment checks. All providers are eligible to participate. Outreach occurs at the end of August and beginning of September.
Quality Improvement Program Support Strategies
We use coaching, training, Professional Learning Communities, and advising to develop Quality Improvement Plans and communities of practice.
Local Approach to Offering Financial Incentives and Stipends
We provide a site-level end-of-year stipend through IMPACT and QCC Block Grants based child and teacher counts. Additional stipends come from the Board of Supervisors. For the California State Preschool Program, stipends are based on the site’s tier rating.

Testimonial
Going in the right direction with the QRIS, all interested in helping the children be the best they can be. All the agencies working together to do it; DRDP is required and long, but effective and necessary. Greater familiarity with QRIS and ASQ now, more ideas generated because people know what they are.

Success Story
Children who qualify for special needs services are identified by Early Educators by the program-required ASQ assessment process and families have support through a home visitor accessing assessments with specialists to learn if the child can recive services.
