Title: Recommendation: Description: This is the annual contract agreement with the Arc of Palm Beach County that supports the provision of services specified in Section 1003.54, F.S. Teenage Parent Programs, to provide Teenage Parent Childcare Services. The Arc of Palm Beach County will provide a high quality, developmentally appropriate infant/toddler childcare program at Gold Coast Community School, Delray Full Service Center, and West School of Choice Alternative Education Schools. The services will be provided in existing portables located on each school's campus, with a total number of slots for approximately forty-eight (48) children. These children are dependents of students who are enrolled in the Teenage Parent Program and attend one of the above mentioned Alternative Education Schools for at-risk students. The Arc of Palm Beach County childcare program has provided opportunities for teenage parents to work with their children in a parent education program on-site. The Arc assesses each child using the Ages and Stages Assessment tool. The School District will evaluate the program by assessing the weekly attendance of the children served in the Arc infant/toddler program, the results of the infants/toddlers Ages and Stages Assessment tool and the quality of the program by using the Environmental Rating Scale Assessment tool. The School District will provide funds for this program from FTE generated by the children of teenage parents who are enrolled in the Teenage Parent Program.
