Process to Outreach/Onboard Programs and Providers

The program manager/early learning specialist for Plumas STARS works closely with the local resource and referral (R&R) and Child Care Payment Program. The R&R disseminates our brochure to potential friend, family, and neighbor (FFN) providers and family child care providers, and it is also included in their provider newsletter. The Child Care Payment Program also disseminates our brochure to FFN providers that they work with. Information is also shared at workshops/trainings and is available on our website. Once an application is received, an initial visit is scheduled to learn more about their program and how we can support them. During this visit an agreement will be signed if the individual/program decides to participate in Plumas STARS.

Quality Improvement Program Support Strategies

Coaching/mentoring, and technical assistance is offered through quarterly visits and may have increased frequency based on individual program needs. Assistance in developing quality improvement goals and plans with resources and incentives to support your goals. Free training and professional development opportunities are offered in collaboration with our community partners. Professional growth advising is available.

Local Approach to Offering Financial Incentives and Stipends

The incentive amounts are set based on the program type/setting. All participating sites create a Quality improvement plan. Participants are encouraged to participate in Workforce Pathways and CDTC.
