ACTIVITY 1(b)
Pilot Child Care Training Program
A. Description of MTW Activity:
To meet one of the central goals of the MTW Demonstration, SAHA seeks to promote
self sufficiency by creating a pilot child care training program and offering child care and
after school services at designated family public housing developments. Currently,
SAHA has limited child care partnerships that do not include an on the job training
(OJT) component. In addition, SAHA currently does not have adequate space in its
communities designated for child care services. The lack of a comprehensive child care
training program and designated child care facilities creates a barrier to employment for
hundreds of our able-bodied residents who would otherwise take advantage of self
sufficiency activities. In response to this barrier, SAHA intends to partner with child care
providers, as well as with job training programs, to create a comprehensive child care
certification program with an OJT component. Residents enrolled in this program will
obtain training and certification to be able to work in a SAHA/collaborative partnership
child care facility and provide child care services to families in the same development.
Residents living in the designated pilot properties will be able to utilize the child care
facility if they are participating in the and are involved in any of the following approved
self sufficiency activities: education (i.e. GED, college, learning seminars), job training,
employment, or job seeking.
B. Status Update:
In year one of this activity, SAHA has developed partnerships with San Antonio College,
Inman Christian Center, the YMCA and AVANCE daycare, which will provide training
and accreditation to residents in the field of Child Care Development. Currently, 8
residents are attending the Community College and participating in internships, where
they will be receiving their accredited certification in Early Childhood Development.
Of the 8 families successfully enrolled in the Child Care Program, a total of 13 children
are receiving child care services, while they are attending classes. Anticipated
graduation date is July 29, 2011.
Currently, SAHA has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with Miller Child
Development Center, Inc. to provide oversight of the Child Care Centers. Miller Child
Development Center has received Rising Star Certification from the State of Texas and
has been authorized to receive state subsidy to off-set the cost of child care.
