| CO | Signed into law 06/2005 | P-12 | Changes the name of the "school-readiness child care subsidization program" to the "school-readiness quality improvement program". Recognizes the early success of the program on a geographic pilot basis and expands the program to include additional eligible communities. Clarifies that the program will be a continuing program. Allows for the identification or establishment of early childhood care and education councils throughout the state, and comprised of representatives from various public and private stakeholders in the local early childhood community to develop and implement a comprehensive early childhood system. Requires councils to provide school-readiness quality improvement funding to early care and education providers.
Specifies that a community may identify a community consolidated child care pilot site agency or other existing entity to serve as an early childhood care and education council or establish a new early childhood care and education council. Changes the program by having school-readiness quality improvement funding flow through the early childhood care and education councils to local early care and education providers, rather than through county departments of social services to such providers. Clarifies that the program is not intended to create an entitlement. Includes school districts in the definition of early care and education providers. Expands the program to target the school readiness of young children who will ultimately attend eligible elementary schools that have received a CSAP academic improvement rating of "decline" or "significant decline" and that have, for that school year, received an overall academic performance rating of "average". Directs the early childhood care and education councils receiving school-readiness quality improvement funding through the program to report certain information to the department of human services. Directs the department of human services to report regularly to the education committees of the general assembly. Expands the child care voluntary credentialing system, which was previously limited to the community consolidated child care services pilot site agencies, statewide to further enhance the school readiness of young children throughout the state of Colorado. Makes conforming amendments.
