Child e March 13, 2015 Lillian Blondet City of Miami, Florida 444 SW 2nd Ave, OGA 5th Floor Miami, FL 33130 Dear Ms. Blondet: RE: Parenting Programs (Group, Individual, Home Visiting and Advocacy Programs) RFP 2015-02 Funding Recommendations for Application: 7072 Families First Parenting Program Congratulations! The Children's Trust has finalized recommendations for this competitive solicitation, and the application referenced above is among those being recommended for funding. This was a highly competitive process —with $27.6 million in requests from 64 applicants for the $10 million available in the Request for Proposals (RFP). The amount of your agency's award is notyet final. It may be reduced further if there are successful appeals to these recommendations or if there are unexpected revenue reductions. In addition, adjustments may be required to your application or funding amount during the negotiation process to meet The Children's Trust's budget guidelines, RFP requirements and performance measurements. In general, funding has been recommended at reduced amounts to ensure a diverse continuum of group, individual, advocacy and home visitation services remain within our parenting portfolio. Application budgets were closely reviewed by a team of Trust contract staff, and reductions were made to staffing and operational costs in some cases. Explanations for reductions are included on the following page. Reductions may or may not be recommended with commensurate reductions in the numbers to be served or activities. In addition, when training was included for proposed evidence - based programs that will be implemented across more than one application, those dollars were removed from individual awards to centralize and reduce overall training costs with The Trust. The Children's Trust Board of Directors will consider these funding recommendations initially at the upcoming Program Services and Childhood Health Committee meeting on Thursday, March 26, 2015 from 4-6 p.m. in the United Way Ryder conference room. Subsequently, the committee's recommendations will be presented to the full board on Monday, April 13, 2015 from 4-6 p.m., also in the United Way Ryder conference room. Please confirm all dates and times for committee and full board meetings on The Children's Trust website community calendar. 4+ (s- 13115 31.50 SW 3rd Avenue, 8`1' Floor, Miami, Florida 33129 ® Tel: 305-571-5700 / Fax: 305-857-95920 www.thechildrenstrust.org, With respect to your recommended funding amount, please carefully review the recommended numbers to be funded through your agency's award. If we do not hear from you that you are unable to meet the expectations for the recommended award amount, we will assume your agency is ready to negotiate the terms of a contract to implement this award for not more than the recommended amount, assuming full board approval on April 13' 2015. Please be on the lookout for a subsequent letter informing you of the requirements of our new contracting process. While awaiting this letter from us to begin negotiations, you may find it helpful to review the attached details regarding your application scores and reviewer comments. You will find the more detailed reviewer guidelines used for scoring applications within the RFP. The appeal policy of The Children's Trust, as stated in the RFP, limits review to challenging errors in procedural due process, errors in mathematical calculations, or omissions to score sections by the ranking team.

The program will serve 180 parents/caregivers, and supportive family members of children ages 3 to 6 in Coconut Grove, Wynwood, Little Haiti, Flagami, and Little Havana. FF ensures accommodations are made to include parents/children with disabilities (CWD) and will accommodate 18 families of CWD. The program does not have enrollment restrictions. The City partners with ten established childcare centers to create convenient accessible sites to promote social, emotional, and academic competence in children. The program offers education and skill building opportunities to caregivers utilizing the evidence -based Incredible Years Preschool Basic prevention curriculum, It is comprised of a total of 18 sessions: 14-sessions delivering all primary components with fidelity and 4-sessions offering supplemental reinforcement parent/child activities.

Families First Parenting Program (Families First or FF) will serve 180 parents/caregivers, and supportive family members of children ages 3 to 6, in Flagami, Coconut Grove, Wynwood, Little Haiti, and Little Havana. The City of Miami (City) partners with established childcare centers to create convenient accessible sites to promote social, emotional, and academic competence in children. The populations in the targeted neighborhoods share similar characteristics in their poverty and diversity: they are mainly minority, speak a language other than English at home, and live in some of the poorest areas. The City of Miami is considered among the poorest cities in the US. In 2008-2012, 29.5% of people lived below the poverty levels versus only 15.6% nationally (1). Miami has the nation's second -lowest median income, lower than Detroit or Newark (2). Our resources include: Ten day care sites with adequate space for proposed programming as well as sufficient staff to provide programming; and collaborating partners to support the provision of high -quality programming. The City will also link program participants to its network of services offered by various departments and outside entities. The primary goals are: 1. Promote parent competencies and strengthen families. 2. Increase positive and nurturing parenting. 3. Reduce critical and violent discipline approaches. 4. Improve parents' problem -solving and communication skills and anger management. 5. Increase family support networks and school involvement. 6. Increase parents' involvement in children's academic -related activities. The program learns about the needs and interest of the participants by conducting program surveys and maintaining an on- going open dialogue with residents. This on -going dialogue allows Families First staff to design, plan and alter programming to fit the specific needs and interests of children and parents. This process allows staff to identify the strengths of the program and tweak areas that can use improvement. The participant surveys given at the end of each Families First cycle are thoroughly reviewed and analyzed. Appropriate changes and improvements are made as recommended by the participants. While parents/caregivers are the main focus of FF, children receive childcare services during parents' instructional sessions and also participate with their parents in other program activities. FF ensures accommodations are made to include parents or children with disabilities (CWD) and will accommodate 18 (10% of families) families of CWD. The Program Director works in conjunction with teachers and staff and makes the necessary accommodations such as: entry ramps for wheelchairs, accessible restrooms, one on one instruction, allowing extra time to complete an activity, or providing the parents with the supplies and instructions for special projects to be completed at home. The City has a non-discrimination policy and provides persons with intellectual and physical challenges equal access to community -based recreational, leisure, and cultural activities to enhance their quality of life and inspire confidence, self-esteem and foster independence. Staff attends trainings internally and externally to keep abreast of emerging ways to appropriately implement inclusion strategies and address the needs of families. The program meets the intent of the RFP by offering education and skill building opportunities to caregivers of children ages 3 to 6 that are socio-economically disadvantaged. Families First is a year round parenting program offered utilizing the evidence- based Incredible Years Preschool Basic (Incredible Years or IY) prevention curriculum. FF is comprised of a total of 18 sessions: 14-sessions delivering all primary components with fidelity and 4-sessions offering supplemental reinforcement parent/child activities. Families First will be offered two cycles in five day cares for a total of ten different centers throughout the year. As prescribed by IY, meals, childcare and program materials are also provided. https://furidhig.thechildrenstrust.net/getApplicationPrintPrevi:eW,do?doculnentPk=141590... 12/23/2 014 WebGrants - Childrens Trust Page 4 of 25 The evidence -based Incredible Years Preschool Basic parenting program has been proven in numerous randomized control group studies to be effective for strengthening parent -child interactions, reducing harsh discipline and fostering parents' ability to promote children's social, emotional, and language development, and school readiness skills. Incredible Years has been selected by the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention as an exemplary best practice program and as a "Blueprints" program. It was also selected as a Model program by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention. Primary activities include instruction using IY in Parenting Training Groups to cover topics such as Child directed play; Academic persistence; Social coaching; Encouraging cooperative behavior; Establishing rules and limits; Effectively managing misbehavior; Helping children self -regulate; Teaching children time out; Home safety proofing; and Teaching children beginning problem solving steps. These 14 weekly sessions, 2 hours per session, provide workshops to parents/caregivers, which will enable them to develop advance competence and confidence as caregivers. The curriculum provides valuable, consistent and encouraging parenting practices that set children on their way to a lifetime of success, The program provides materials in child development awareness and developing positive interactions between parents and children. The Families First program is tailored to ensure cultural sensitivity and fits the City's residents' multi -cultural backgrounds. The program builds parenting competencies and encourages involvement in children's school experiences to strengthen parenting skills and foster more tolerant communities. Frequency: 1 session per week/centers (5 centers per cycle) Intensity: 2 hours/session Duration: 14 weeks --14 sessions Parenting Supplemental Sessions are used to reinforce the curriculum using guidance from Incredible Years. These parent/child supplemental activities will allow for parent knowledge acquisition and behavioral change to be observed, and allow a fun and experiential environment to Team healthy living guidelines and basic home and outdoor safety precautions. These 4-2 _ hour sessions will include instruction on health, child safety and injury prevention education to families and children. As these sessions engage the parents/caregivers and their child/children, the group shares and puts into practice the lessons previously learned in the Incredible Years Parenting Training Group sessions. The City of Miami also provides special guests to speak about Miscellaneous topics requested by parents such as Fire Safety, First Aid, Nutrition, and Financial Literacy. Each of these 4-2 hour sessions will consist of 1 hour of Indoor safety, Outdoor safety or Miscellaneous topics combined with 1 hour of Play and Learn through Music.

These Cultural Outings include events, shows and fairs chosen by the City of Miami in conjunction with the participants. The City will provide transportation, entry and food for participating families to attend arts and cultural events at various venues in the City as a way of reinforcing the knowledge gained in the training, and as a means to practice skills learned while in a large public environment. Our experience also shows that these outings serve as motivational activities to stay in the program. Frequency/Intensity/Duration: Up to 8 hours, three times per program year in December, March, and June. Service Integration: Staff will work with subcontractors in the preferred protocol for serving families in need. For every request, staff will give the parent/caretaker a pre -designed fact sheet on the top challenges facing our parents and the services available to address them such as: housing needs, food emergencies, travel emergencies, domestic violence, child abuse, and employment. This information will also be explained to the caregiver verbally in the event of different literacy levels or language barriers. Six of the ten sites are funded by Head Start and have an in-house Social Services Department linking all parents to services. Head Start parents also receive a Reference Manual containing all community resources within Miami -Dade County as well as a Referral Manual with local services available to families. The other four smaller centers provide referrals to Early Learning Coalition, Connect Families and other similar care coordination organizations. When the Program Director identifies a participant as having multiple and complex needs beyond those that can be addressed through the Families First Parenting Program, she • httpse//f nding.thechildrenstrust.net/getApplicationPr°intPreview.do?doeumentPk=1.41590... 12/23/2014 WebGrants - Childrens Trust Page 5 of 25 will meet with the center's staff to discuss a strategy and providers that can address the full range of needs and concerns.

(500 word limit or approx. 1 page) In the targeted areas, effective parenting skills are a great necessity. The child care centers where the program is provided request parenting programs for their families in order to improve the parenting skills and the relationship between the parent, child, and school. FF's program, services, and staff (who have worked with the program since inception) are familiar with/to the community. Yearly, the child care centers request the program be brought back due to the need for parenting classes. The centers' directors have noted significant improvement in the parenting skills of the participants upon completion of the FF Program. High demand has resulted in program expansion from 6 to 10 centers. Recruitment/Outreach: Parents will be reached by: print ads in childcare center bulletins, posters in community centers, community -based organizations, parks, ACCESS Miami program, City website, events, and Neighborhood Enhancement Team offices. FF Community Liaison will conduct grassroots outreach at the child care centers and the Program Director will also recruit at childcare orientation meetings. Engagement: FF has chosen quality service providers that are uniquely qualified to achieve the highest possible outcomes in the development of positive parenting skills, child development, social supports and health and safety. FF has been providing services in the targeted communities for over seven years, To keep parents engaged, FF includes supplemental activities that enrich the IY curriculum. Gymboree classes provide opportunities for parents to learn to play and interact with their children. Parents are guided and encouraged to implement the strategies and techniques learned in the Parenting Training Group, Injury Free Coalition provides indoor and outdoor safety. Guess speakers are invited to the centers to address topics identified by the parents as important. Retention: Childcare is provided for registered parents while they attend the sessions. The FF Community Liaison will conduct interventions at sites; call registered parents weekly to follow up on participation and offer services, resource connection or other options to address issues preventing attendance. Participating sites are required to provide a contact person (within the center) to assist FF with recruitment and weekly attendance reminders. The program handbook ensures participant commitment to the program. Meals are provided at each session, per the model. Parents receive incentives for attendance, participation, and arriving to class on time. Upon program completion, parents and families are invited to a citywide cultural event at a major venue where they receive a City of Miami Certificate of Completion. (See Data Quality assurance and program fidelity attachment.) Enrollment: FF is open for enrollment to anyone in the community who is a parent/caregiver or supportive family member of a child ages 3 to 6.

Quality assurance and data collection Quality assurance processes and data collection plan:* • How does the program measure whether services are being delivered as intended and ensure the collection of ongoing data? Programs must be implemented with fidelity and outcomes measured accurately to achieve the expected beneficial effects. • Identify how you will track and measuna adherence to and quality of the evidence -based or promising programs proposed. • Describe how you will incorporate the early childhood screenings using the Ages and Stages Questionnaires ASQ — ASQ: SE, The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHA7) and The Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (EPOS). • Describe your methods to ensure accurate scoring and timely reporting of the required collection of valid and reliable participant outcome measures, into The Trust's electronic reporting system. • How will the information collected be used to improve the program? • Attach any documents you use or intend to use to track and measure program fidelity including comprehensive needs assessment. (1000 word limit) Incredible Years founder, Carolyn Webster -Stratton, Ph.D. has identified five key elements to effective program implementation for the Incredible Years model: "(1) standardized treatment delivery (using comprehensive clinician manuals, well -articulated protocols, videotapes and materials for parents and children); (2) standardized quality training for group leaders delivering the intervention; (3) effective supervision of group leaders; (4) on -going fidelity monitoring and certification; and (5) agency or administrative support". The City of Miami's Families First program has implemented all five components with fidelity and will continue to do so. Families First will use the following measurement and reporting tools to measure whether services are being delivered as intended, adherence to and curriculum fidelity, and to ensure the collection of ongoing data as well as data recorded on the Children's Trust Semis.

At the end of the session, these are used to record attendance in The Children's Trust web -based reporting system (Samis).(See Data source/measurement tool(s) attachment.) The Program Director, who is a trained Incredible Years Group Leader, is present at every session and supervises the teacher to ensure fidelity to the IY curriculum. This is done by having the teacher review the IY Leader Checklist at the beginning of each session. This checklist lists all of the vignettes and requirements of the lesson being presented. The lesson is then presented to the participants. At the end of the lesson the teacher completes the checklist to ensure that all requirements were met. These IY Leader Checklists are collected by the Program Director who also completes an ongoing supervision tool called Incredible Years Parent Group Peer and Self Evaluation Form. At the end of every four sessions, the teacher and the Program Director meet and confer using these tools and strategize on ways to improve program presentation. Also, at the end of every four sessions, the participants complete the Parent Evaluation Survey on which they can state their degree of satisfaction with the program. (See Data source/measurement tool(s) & Quality assurance and program fidelity attachment) Upon completion of the program, participants complete the End of the Program Parent Satisfaction Survey. The participants are asked to evaluate the program, the skills that they have learned, and its effect on their families. Three open ended questions are asked that assist in the Program Director's overall program evaluation. (See Data source/measurement tool(s) attachment.) The IY Leader Checklist is used on a weekly basis to measure adherence to and the quality of the presentation by the teacher of the IY curriculum. The teacher is also evaluated weekly by the Program Director and at the end of the fourth session both meet to strategize improvement and changes if needed. The results of the Parent Evaluation Survey are used to ensure participant satisfaction with the program. Early childhood screenings are not applicable to the. Families First Parenting Program. To ensure accurate scoring and timely reporting the weekly Sign -In sheets are used to record attendance. An Excel spreadsheet created by the Program Director readily shows manually entered weekly participants' attendance. The attendance is reported in Samis on a weekly basis. The participant outcome measures are scored by the Program Director at the beginning and at the end of the cycles. The scores are reported on Samis and are also manually entered in an Excel spreadsheet created by the Program Directors that compares the pre and post scores of all outcome measures for each parent/caregiver. To improve the program, all of the information collected is evaluated by the Program Director throughout the year. This allows for improvements and changes to be made as needed and on a timely basis. The Parent Evaluation Survey is used to verify that the parents are engaged and learning. The IY Leader Checklist and the Signed Program Director Supervision and Teacher Evaluation are used to confirm curriculum fidelity. As needed the Program Director will consult with the Education Initiatives Coordinator any proposed program modifications.

This budget also ensures implementation of the Incredible Years Parenting program with fidelity: • The total program cost is estimated at $288,773 to serve 180 parents with over 90% of the budget allocated for direct services. • City is matching 18% of the total program cost. • 51% of the requested funding amount is being allocated to Teachers, Program Director and Gymboree for delivering the parenting training group sessions and parenting supplemental sessions. • Teachers provide curriculum in English, Creole and/or Spanish. • Food, transportation & supplemental activities/incentives are offered at a cost of $60,028 (21% of requested funding). • Child care center sites are free of costs. • Existing partnerships allow for the provision of supplemental activities at no cost. The City is providing in -kind administration and oversight with 10% allocated for indirect costs. In addition, the City Departments provide guest speakers free of charge. The FF efforts will permit the City to enhance community partnership and bring people together from various backgrounds to address specific concerns and prioritize implementation of cost effective solutions. Subcontracting Rationale If you are subcontracting for direct services, explain why.* How will participants be better off because you are subcontracting direct services? How will your agency supervise and manage subcontractors to ensure they are performing well? Please note that subcontractors are limited to agencies or persons directly related to the program services. If you are not subcontracting for direct services, enter "Not Applicable." Families First understands that its expertise is in adrninistration rather than programmatic services.

Subcontractors trained in the Incredible Years curriculum have pedagogical backgrounds and have extensive experience delivering the program to the targeted families. Supplemental activities are offered by individuals/entities proficient in each field. This results in benefits for the participants: 1. More funding for direct services. 2. Program services are provided by subject experts. 3. Greater educational and implementation resources from the subcontracting agency due to the fact the service component is the entire focus of their organization. FF also recognizes that it is ultimately responsible for the management, quality, and performance of its • https://funding.thechildrenstrust.net/getApplicationPrintPr.ear iew.do?docurnentPk=141590... 12/23/2014 WebGrants Childrens Trust Page 23 of 25 subcontractors.
