Sonoma County CARES offers new Track V Option on Leadership
The Sonoma CARES program participants in Track V now have two additional participation options. Track V-B participants help participants in other Tracks increase their skills in evaluating their programs while completing the Environment Rating Scale Score Sheet and the Rating Scale Improvement Plan. Track V-C participants are leaders who become actively involved in policy decisions that impact the ECE community and thereby, address issues facing preschool and after school programs in Sonoma County.

This report provides a range of programmatic and fiscal information about the federal and state funding sources for child care that are available to California 's K-12 public school districts. The focus is on funding that pays for basic care and supervision, or what is considered the child care program "slot" or space.
