Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Early Learning Coalition Hillsborough County is seeking an organization or independent contractor who can provide coaching to ensure family childcare homes and childcare centers achieve Gold Seal accreditations. Our goal is to assist 15 childcare family homes and 15 childcare centers utilizing our last round of American Rescue Plan Act Discretionary funding to successfully become accredited. These 30 childcare centers/family childcare homes must indicate that they are interested in serving or are actively serving children with behavioral concerns or children with unique abilities (special needs). The end game of providing these accreditations is to ensure that (1) childcare providers improve their overall level of quality, (2) centers are better equipped to ensure that children with adverse behavioral concerns or unique abilities (special needs) avoid expulsion, and (3) parents increase their parental choice to give their child a high-quality early education experience. The successful Gold Seal accreditation also provides the opportunity to providers for increased reimbursement through the 20% differential from the Early Learning Coalition.
