You have asked how we would conduct a study and construct such a roadmap providing recommendations for structuring an Early Learning System for the county; what this might entail by way of costs; and strategies for meeting these costs and adopting and implementing such a System. We propose a three -step process. First, we would assess the County's Early Learning needs, building off existing research in order to keep the total project cost as low as possible, and to focus limited resources on finding solutions. We would do this through interviews with county leadership and stakeholders, and then by conducting secondary research as we generally do. Second, we would conduct the kind of nationwide, best - practice research in which we specialize, looking for both the best models for individual programs and governmental systems to support such programs, with an eye toward specific factors of importance in designing a program especially for Eagle County. Finally, we will develop a fully fleshed -out series of policy recommendations for the County to follow for funding, adopting, and implementing an Early Learning System. What follows is a more detailed research outline: 1. Assess early childhood needs in Eagle County a. Stakeholder interviews: Determine County's objective — Improve: Access? Affordability? Quality? Demand? Child development domains? BoCC County leadership (management and agency staff) School district superintendent and personnel Eagle County Early Childhood Council b. Secondary research: How many kids /year? How many having needs met? How many still in -need? Causes of need: access? affordability? quality?

U • r skim stood t boas w€5tk for the beftur About Pubtic Works ubtc Works has been in operation for 20 years. The firm has experience across the country advising high -level government decision - makers on a wide range of policy issues, including governors, mayors, school systems, state agencies, and federal officials. PubLic Works has experience specifically providing strategic planning support to state departments of education, as well as to State Boards as part of our statewide reviews in Colorado and Iowa. The Public Works team also advised the nation's first cabinet -level Department of Early Learning on child care subsidies, completed an exhaustive compilation of all known research on early childhood for the California Commission on Children & Families, produced a report for the Center for National Policy on early childhood education, and recently oversaw the transfer of child care responsibility from the Louisiana Department of Children & Family Services to the state's Department of Education. And we helped oversee creation of, and served as ongoing advisers, to the Prep -to -20 Councils of two states, Arizona and West Virginia, Washington Stag 00partment of rt Learning The Washington Department of Early Learning engaged Public Works to identify best practices and innovative approaches for how childcare subsidies are being used to fund quality early learning programs for low- income children. Specifically, our team examined: How states are leveraging Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) resources to improve quality; How states are addressing the subsidized child care dilemma to balance the issues of access, affordability, duality and continuity; and Best practice ideas that Washington leaders aright consider for adaptation to Washington's program. Louisiana CorE hRdh d System Implementation utic Works was selected to facilitate implementation of Louisiana's unified Early Childhood System of Local Networks. The purpose was to provide more families across Louisiana with access to high- quality early childhood programs by bringing the multiple current early childhood programs — including pre -K in public schools, the Nonpublic School Early Childhood Development Program, Head Start, Early Head Start, Early Steps and the Child Care and Assistance Program (CLAP) — together under one roof within the Department of Education, Public o€ worked with the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) to help transition the Child Care and Development Fund from DCFS to LDOE. Public Works managed an extensive transition work plan for moving the Fund and all programs tied to CCDF — including the licensing of day care facilities, CLAP payments, and client eligibility — into the administration of LDOE. 4; aPmk ?c etc s9 tc4p5 warts for the Yaefie€ Bringing together both agencies, Pro btic Works worked to transition budget, programs, personnel, and computer systems from one department to the ether as seamlessly as possible, without interruption to the critical services they provide. In conjunction with agency leadership and staff, Pubtic Works managed the creation and drafting of Cooperative Endeavor Agreements and ensuring that operational and statutory deadlines would be met. m r h n€ e Earty ChUdhood Literatures Review for the State of California Pubtic Works was tasked by the California Children and Families Commission (CCFC) to collect and analyze current research literature, data, and initiatives across the country in the following four areas: Promising early care and education (ECE) and family - community practices ECE and school readiness systems Cost projections and fiscal models Training, education, compensation, and retention of ECE providers in California Within these parameters, Pubtic Works undertook the study, which addressed several broad issues including :(1) parent involvement, (2) school readiness, (3) diversity, (4) education and training, (5) financing, and (6) evaluation in early care and education. In addition to describing the available research the report identifies dozens of programs and models for the CCFC to consider. The "best practices" included in each section of the report represented the best of ghat was occurring in early care and education at both the federal level and the state level in California and other states. The resulting report described the basis for the study and provided a detailed description of the research and model programs operating throughout the country that could be used to support the goal of improving the education of California's next generation of students, Please let me know if you have any further questions.
