<br />Resources <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Dear Child Care Links Parents, <br />Providers and Community Partners: <br /> <br /> <br />Fiscal year 2003-2004 was one of vision, collaboration <br />and successes. Child Care Links continues to focus on <br />the agency mission of strengthening and supporting <br />children and families through resource and referral. <br />child care subsidies, health and nutrition programs <br />and trainings for parents and providers. <br /> <br />While it has presented some challenges, this past year <br />has been one of positive change and streamlining of <br />agency programs. The CalWORKs Stage I child care <br />program has begun to level off after seven years and staff is now able to develop and <br />implement new processes and provide more intensive case management for families. <br />In addition the agency entered into a collaborative effort with Davis Street Family , <br />Resources (enteLand Alameda County Social SeNices to provide employment ser- <br />vices for CalWORKs families. This is a first step towards the agency vision of the LFTS <br />Program (Linking Families to Successl. The Health and Nutrition Program and the <br />Accounting Department implemented new software that has increased program effi. <br />ciency for both child care providers and the agency. <br /> <br />Child Care Links continues to provide trainings for parents and providers, ofter early <br />literacy for families and respond to community needs regarding child care issues. In <br />2005.2006 the agency will move forward with more community and legislative inter. <br />action in order to educate and support the need for quality, safe child care for all chil- <br />dren. <br /> <br />The agency would like to thank all of our community partners who have assisted <br />Child Care Links this past year. Your dedication to our programs and the community <br />at large enables the agency to continue to develop and implement successful pro- <br />grams that will ensure a means of helping families reach their full potential. Child <br />Care Links will continue to promote effective collaboration within the community, <br />strengthen and streamline services and make wise choices for the future. <br /> <br />The staff and Board of Directors looks forward to our continued relationships in <br />2005.2006 as the agency works through financial challenges and seizes opportuni. <br />ties to continue to strengthen and support children and families. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Carol Thompson <br />Executive Director <br /> <br />
