The Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five seeks to support states in their efforts to analyze the landscape of their early learning and care (ELC) mixed delivery system and implement changes to the system that maximize availability of high-quality ELC options for high-impact families; streamline administrative infrastructure; improve state-level early learning and care funding efficiencies; and improve the quality of care.
The Preschool Development Grant Renewal (PDG-R) is a three year grant period. The project start date was December 31, 2019 and is scheduled to end on December 31, 2022. The grant awards $13.4 million per year, $40.2 million total.
As part of the PDG-R, regional hubs coordination, Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) serves as a coordinator and facilitator of training, resources, and shared planning to maximize efficiencies and collaboration within each region to support efforts to share information and resources and further identify challenges and opportunities to strengthen transitions in the ELC system to better support children’s development, family engagement, and community connection.

Build Regional Relationships
Child care resource and referral agencies are crucial infrastructure for families and child care providers in every county in California. As part of the regional hubs coordination, CCRC will work directly with Regional Hub Leadership to build regional partnerships to ensure that resource and referral services are included in planning at the regional and local level for child care services. The goal of regional coordination is to build relationships across the 11 regions and coordinate and support consistent R&R messaging at every level of planning.
Development of Partnerships with Quality Counts California
Quality Counts California works at the regional level to plan their quality support work for child care providers. CCRC will support Regional R&R Hubs in building partnerships around California on the delivery of Early Childhood and Parent Café Services. Through these partnerships, the Regional Hubs will build longer term relationships with QCC partners and have the opportunity to engage R&R services as part of Regional QCC planning.
CCRC will support Regional Hub Leadership and their development of relationships with QCC Regional Leadership, and help identify opportunities to use the Regional Hub Structure to coordinate and deliver services. CCRC will also work directly with statewide QCC Leadership to engage and educate around R&R services.
Development of Tribal Partnerships
CCRC will develop partnerships with state level representatives of the Tribal Alliance California Health and Human Services Agency to leverage Parent and Early Childhood Café work with tribal groups in California.
CCRC will work directly with Regional Hub Leadership to build regional partnerships with their Tribal Representatives to deliver Parent and Early Childhood Café services and identify additional opportunities to use the Regional Hub Structure to coordinate and deliver services.
Parent & Caregiver Cafés
Through PDG-R funding, R&R agencies have been working together to strengthen their relationships with parents and caregivers in their communities. The Café experience gives participants the tools needed to increase family strength and resilience by providing an opportunity for parents and caregivers to come together to engage in meaningful, reflective conversations that promote collaboration, peer to peer engagement and empowerment. Cafés focus on different topics and themes that give parents the space and time to discuss and share their lived experiences.
During the Café experience, participants:
Gain knowledge on the Strengthening Families’ 5 Protective Factors;
Engage in conversations based on various café questions crafted from various curriculums and resources;
Make connections and form relationships with other parents and peers through interactive discussion questions.
The CCRC curriculum team has taken various training curriculum content and created café themes and conversation questions to direct participants in discussions around the intended content. Café facilitators from R&Rs across California are trained on the curriculum and café topics and are given the tools to support their participants with information and resources pertaining to the content.
Cafés have been created for specific groups such as parents, family friends and neighbors, family child care providers and Home Visitors. Café materials are available in English, Spanish and Chinese.

CCRC teams collaborate on the implementation (Communications team) and evaluation (Research team) of the Parent Feedback Sessions. A minimum of five sessions are held each year on a variety of topics.
CCRC will coordinate these feedback sessions to collect information from a broad representation of parents and caregivers. These small group sessions afford attendees a safe space to discuss family needs, availability of services, and areas where services are either not available or not meeting family needs.
Bi-directional pathways to engage parents
Ensure representation across geographic regions (including urban, suburban and rural)
Meet parents where they are: convene virtually and in-person
Serve as peer-to-peer network to develop parent leadership and advocacy skills
Engage tribes, linguistically diverse groups, and parents experiencing trauma

Feedback on Free Tools for Parents (e.g., VROOM) That Reinforce Positive Parenting Practices
CCRC is required to have a minimum of five feedback sessions per year. The Communications team, specifically the Community Engagement Facilitator, will be recruiting for parents/participants who have attend Parent Cafés (presently or in the past) or who are receiving some type of service through an R&R agency (e.g., subsidized child care).
Outreach for feedback sessions is conducted by the Community Engagement Facilitator and may be done in one of the following ways: by personally attending PDG-R Parent Cafés hosted by R&R’s and sharing session details with parents OR by directly requesting a list of interested participants from the hub leads and/or café host. Based on sensitivity of these topics and how specific they may be at times, we may request a group of parents that matches certain criteria.
Please refer to Grant Components-Hub (Parent Outreach for Parent Feedback Sessions) for more details about Parent Feedback Sessions and the Hub Leads role.
Once the Community Engagement Facilitator is connected to participants a meet and greet, via phone, is scheduled. During the call participants are given session details, parent criteria, and their availability/schedule is discussed. Topic and questions are provided to participants before session takes place.
CCRC’s Communications team will design, develop and produce digital testimonials that provide feedback to administrators and policymakers. The videos reflect topics and issues important to improve early learning systems and processes. They also give parents an opportunity to share their voice and lived experiences. Our goal is to ensure parent voices are elevated at the most important times, about the most critical topics.Testimonial topics are selected based on discussions held in the Parent Feedback Sessions and input from key stakeholders, Parent Café Facilitators, caregivers and community members. We welcome you to share your ideas for topics and referrals for parents to share their stories. Video testimonials are currently produced in English and Spanish.
The feedback sessions provide a safe space for parents and caregivers to come together to engage in meaningful, reflective conversations as we discuss sensitive and important topics. These feedback sessions give parents an opportunity to voice their issues, concerns, lived experiences and to inform state agencies such as Quality Counts (state QRIS), superintendents association, etc., to make improvements in our early learning systems.
The Communications and Research teams design and develop the questions and format of the sessions. Families are welcomed and an engaging activity starts off our session. Communications facilitates the session, while Research takes notes to capture the entire session. At the end of each session families are provided with resources and different types of incentives for the family to enjoy. A survey is also sent out for participants to complete.
HUB and R&R expertise in communities is vital to the success of the Parent Feedback Sessions. Knowledge of parent’s lived experiences is at the community level and we rely on this to recruit parents with lived experience who can speak to the topics described above.
The Research team participates in the sessions by developing session questions relevant to the topic, developing survey questions, attending the sessions, analyzing the qualitative data and developing reports. Each of these steps is vetted by people with lived experience in the topic to ensure recommendations are relevant and effective.
The Research team then engages with internal and external stakeholders, advocates and policy makers to elevate the voice of parents.
