Summary

(1) Existing law, the Child Care and Development Services Act, administered by the State Department of Education, requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to administer child care and development programs that offer a full range of services for eligible children from infancy to 13 years of age. Existing law also requires the Superintendent to administer all migrant child care and development programs which are available to children of migrant agricultural worker families, as defined. This bill would require that once a child of a migrant agricultural worker family is enrolled in a migrant child care and development program that the child be deemed eligible for these services for a period of 12 months unless the child no longer resides in the state or the child is deceased. (2) Existing law requires the Superintendent to administer all California state preschool programs, including full-day California state preschool program services for 3- and 4-year-old children. This bill would require that once a 3- or 4-year-old child is certified as eligible for full-day California state preschool program services that the child remain eligible for these services for a period of 12 months unless the child no longer resides in the state or the child is deceased. (3) Existing law requires the Superintendent to administer all California state preschool programs, including part-day California state preschool program services for 3- and 4-year-old children. Existing law also provides that once a child is enrolled in a part-day California state preschool program that the child be deemed eligible for this program for the remainder of the program year. This bill would instead require that once a child is enrolled in a part-day California state preschool program that the child be deemed eligible for this program for a period of 12 months unless the child no longer resides in the state or the child is deceased. (4) Existing law requires the Superintendent to encourage state preschool program applicants or contracting agencies to offer full-day services through a combination of part-day preschool slots and part-day general child care and development programs. Existing law also provides that subsequent to enrollment, a child shall be deemed eligible for part-day care as long as the child is enrolled in a preschool program. This bill would instead require that subsequent to enrollment, a child shall be deemed eligible for part-day care for a period of 12 months unless the child no longer resides in the state or the child is deceased. (5) Existing law requires the Superintendent to adopt rules and regulations on eligibility, enrollment, and priority of services needed to implement the Child Care and Development Services Act. Existing law requires families to meet at least one of the specified requirements in order to be eligible for federal and state subsidized child development services. Existing law also requires the Superintendent to establish guidelines according to which the director or a duly authorized representative of the child care and development program will certify children as eligible for state reimbursement. The provisions related to eligibility apply to alternative payment programs, general child care and development programs, and the 3 stages of child care services available to recipients of aid under the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids Act. This bill would require that, subsequent to certification of eligibility for federal and state subsidized child development services and subject to a specified exception, a child be deemed eligible for these services for a period of 12 months unless the child no longer resides in the state or the child is deceased. (6) Existing law authorizes higher educational institutions to establish and maintain child development programs on or near their respective campuses. Existing law also requires that first priority for service be given to children of students of each campus operating a child development program. This bill would require that, subsequent to enrollment, a child be deemed eligible for these services for one academic year unless the child no longer resides in the state or the child is deceased.
