Wrap-Up & Next Steps

VISION FOR UNIVERSAL
PRE-KINDERGARTEN (UPK)
California’s vision for “Universal Pre-K” for all 3 and 4 year-olds will be accomplished by utilizing the existing early learning and care (ELC) mixed delivery system. Expanded TK is not intended to replace this system.
TK alone cannot meet the care needs of all families.
Blending, braiding, and layering, and collaborative partnerships, are necessary to meet the care and early learning needs of all children and families.

MEETING PARENT NEEDS
Meeting the needs of parents. 87% of parents report that they need 9 or more hours of care for their 4-year-old children, but no single UPK program funds a 9 hour day.

15
WHAT FAMILIES SAY THEY
NEED
SAFETY
Safety is also a consistent priority. For infants/toddlers, families tend to express preference for smaller facilities and providers that they know or are recommended by a friend.
04
COST
Affordability of care is always a top priority for families. Free care is obviously preferred but many middle class working families will forego free options in lieu of a UPK provider that meets their hourly and location needs.
03
LOCATION
Families consistently list location as a top consideration when choosing a UPK provider. Families prioritize locations near their home and work and at the school site where siblings attend K-12.
02
FULL-TIME CARE
Every year families are surveyed about their needs for childcare and every year about 85% say they need full-time (9 hours or more) of care. However, no single UPK program fully funds 9 hours of care.
01
Equity • Diversity • Inclusion • Partnership
16
WHAT FAMILIES SAY THEY
WANT
EARLY LEARNING
Families have a growing understanding of the importance of early learning in the first 5 years and, when possible, choose providers that incorporate early learning frameworks.
*
SUPPORT SERVICES
Wrap services, like transportation, meals, and connection to social services, are a preference for many, especially low-income families.
*
DUAL LANGUAGE
A growing number of families, both English learners and those who are not, express interest in dual language UPK providers.
*
CULTURAL COMPETENCY
Families of color in particular express a preference for UPK providers that are culturally competent or from the same background as the family.

MEETING PARENT NEEDS
LOCATION
Co-locating blended and braided programs at an LEA site is an effective way to meet parent needs.
Providing UPK for younger children at K-12 sites has been shown to increase enrollment of both UPK programs and K-12.
01
02
03
FULL-TIME CARE
Blending and braiding is a fiscally sustainable way to offer a 9-hour program that meets families needs.
LEAs only offering part-day TK (with no blended/braided wrap) are seeing under enrollment in TK.
COST
LEAs can provide wrap/extended hours for free to all families, even those not eligible for ELOP, if they strategically blend, braid, or layer programs.
Free options like TK are attractive to families, but keep in mind that CSPP and CCTR are also free or very low cost for low-income families and offer full-day options.
04
SAFETY
Blending, braiding, and layering can fund additional staff, lower adult:child ratios, and increase program safety.
Parents have expressed concerns that the TK ratio requirements (1:12) are high in comparison to other UPK programs serving 3- and 4-year-olds. Blending/braiding/layering can reduce ratios.
Equity • Diversity • Inclusion • Partnership
ENROLLMENT
Ensuring UPK programs are attractive to parents and enrollment goals are met.
Equity • Diversity • Inclusion • Partnership
INCREASE DEMAND
Operate a program that meets parents top needs. High demand programs are those that are: 9 hours or more per day, free or low cost, close to families’ home or work, and demonstrate a safe environment.
A
B
INCREASE ELIGIBILITY
Programs that blend can significantly increase eligibility to fill a UPK classroom.

HYPOTHETICAL
RBG Elementary is an LEA with just 30 children enrolled in TK. RBG is located in a rural area with a 50% UPP rate and a number of migrant families. They have a Head Start contract for 20 children. RBG has had difficulty implementing TK and ELOP because they are too small to create an economy of scale and funding is insufficient.
JOIN YOUR LEA’S BREAKOUT ROOM & DISCUSS
What blending, braiding, and layering solutions should RBG Elementary consider implementing? What additional information do you want to know about the LEA? What barriers would RBG have to overcome to implement the solutions your team is suggesting?

GENERAL RULES
3 general rules govern blending, braiding, and layering
RULE 1
DOUBLE DIPPING
LEAs cannot use two funding sources to pay for the same child’s instructional time during the same time period/session.
RULE 2
RULE 3
TRACK & REPORT
Absent a waiver or local plan option, LEAs must separately track and report each funding source, even when running blended programs.
PROGRAM STANDARDS
The funding source dictates program requirements. LEAs must meet the highest requirements of the program(s) funding each session.

01
PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS
Community based providers have expertise providing early and expanded learning and existing infrastructure, and existing staff and facilities.
2
02
MAXIMIZING EXISTING FACILITIES/ SPACE
Are classrooms being under-utilized as storage? Only operating 1 part-time program each day? Can K-6 classrooms be utilized after school hours for ELO-P?
3
03
BUILDING A WORKFORCE PIPELINE
Blended, braided and layered staffing models can facilitate creation of career pathways and apprenticeship opportunities for staff.
4
04
WORKING WITH LABOR
Severe staffing shortages and program braiding/ blending/layering may require negotiations and partnerships with the local bargaining unit.
5
05
MEETING PARENTS NEEDS
Parents overwhelmingly indicate a need for affordability and programs that operate 9 hours or more per day. Part-day programs will have difficulty competing with blended/braided options that offer 9 hours a day.
6
06
HIRING VERSUS CONTRACTING
Some programs cannot be contracted out by the LEA (e.g. TK) while others can be contracted out (e.g. CSPP, ELO-P). When blending, braiding, and layering, LEAs may want to utilize both hired employees and contracted staff.
7
07
PRE-K TO 3RD GRADE ALIGNMENT
Districts should select aligned curriculum and assessments and create professional development opportunities for Pre-K to 3rd grade teachers as programs are blended, braided and layered.

Need 5 additional classrooms by 25-26. Do we have the space?
With just 10 kids in special ed preschool and declining enrollment, could it be layered with TK or CSPP to free up those 2 classrooms?
We have 3 classroom set aside for just 15 ELOP students. Can the other classrooms be utilized for TK or CSPP estimated increase in need? What modifications would be needed?
