Update from our Executive Director
As we come to the end of another Fiscal
year I just want to thank all of the providers
for continuing to care for our children. The
most rewarding part of my job is to go out to visit the
programs and share the wonderful work you are all doing
for our children and families. Two events stand out for
me especially the Provider tours and Week of the Young
Child where we went out to visit both Family child care
homes and preschool centers. I was so proud to be a part
of such a wonderful network of high quality family child
care programs and preschool centers. All of you went out
of you way to make us feel welcome and get a really good
feel for the work you do.
As we begin a new fiscal year we have many new ideas in
the works to offset the budget cuts. It comes with great
pleasure to that I am able to announce that the River to
Coast Children’s Services Board has agreed to acquire
the STARS Preschools! As we face looming large budget
cuts the Agency is looking to diversify so that we can stay
strong and supportive to our children and families. By
acquiring Stars Preschools we acquire an additional State
contract to offer full day and part day preschool at Monte
Rio and Petaluma and half day at Fort Ross and Montgomery
School’s in Cazadero.
You have all been
supportive in writing
letters to our legislatures
to express your outrage
in the drastic budget
cuts that are proposed.
At this time we are
looking at another 8.7%
cut and hope that this
is not the final cut but
some funds are restored.
Please keep up the good
work and sending letters
to all you legislators and
together we will work
to survive through these
hard times.
A happy participant at the RCCS Summer Fun
Carnival at Forestville Youth Park on June 15th!
Sincerely ,Jynx E. Lopez, Executive Director

De la Directora
Ahora que estamos llegamos al fin del año Fiscal, quiero
agradecer a todos los proveedores por continuar cuidando
de nuestros niños. La parte más gratificante de mi trabajo
es cuando visito a los programas y comparto con ustedes el
trabajo maravilloso que hacen ustedes para los niños y sus
familias. En particular, tengo dos eventos muy especiales
en mi mente, las visitas que hicimos a sus casas y el evento
que tuvimos para celebrar la Semana de los Niños Pequeños
donde fuimos a visitar a proveedores que tienen programas
en sus casas y también centros preescolares. Me siento muy
orgullosa de ser parte de esta maravillosa red de cuidado
de calidad para niños. Todos ustedes hicieron todo lo posible para hacernos sentir bienvenidos y tener esa emoción
y buenos sentimientos por el trabajo que ustedes hacen.
Estamos comenzando un nuevo año Fiscal, tenemos muchas
nuevas ideas de cómo poder sobresalir a los recortes del
Presupuesto Estatal. Es para mi un gran placer poderles
anunciar que La Mesa Directiva de RCCS decidió adquirir los
Preescolares “STARS.”! Mientras que enfrentamos un gran
desafió por los recortes del presupuesto, nuestra Agencia
esta buscando formas de diversidad para mantenernos
fuertes y poder apoyar a nuestros niños y nuestras familias.
Al adquirir los prescolares STAR, adquirimos un nuevo Contrato del Estado para ofrecer Preescolar de medio día y días
completos en Monte Rio y Petaluma. También ofreceremos
un programa de medio día en la escuela Montgomery de
Cazadero y en la escuela de Fort Ross.
Todos ustedes nos han apoyado en escribir cartas a nuestros
legisladores para expresar su inconformidad sobre los propuestos recortes al presupuesto. Ahora estamos enfrentando la propuesta de un recorte del 8.7% mas al presupuesto
del próximo año Fiscal. Esperemos que esta decisión no
sea final y que algunos fondos para nuestra Agencia sean
restaurados.
Por favor sigan adelante con los esfuerzos mandando cartas
a sus legisladores y juntos vamos a trabajar para sobrevivir
a estos tiempos dificiles.
Antentamente,Jynx E. Lopez, La Directora

Clark Wolf, Author of
“American Cheeses: The
Best Regional, Artisan, and
Farmhouse Cheeses, Who
Makes Them, and Where
to Find Them”, was this
year's
Enchanted Wine
Country Evening special
guest and speaker at Korbel
Champange Cellars.
Mr. Wolf has more than thirty
years of experience in the
food industry and is founder
and President of Clark Wolf
Company, a New York-based food and
restaurant consulting firm. He has been
called the “slam dunk, hit city food
consultant” and a “Merchandising Maestro.”
Guest Speaker, Clark Wolf, with 5th District
Supervisor, Efren Carrillo. Mr Wolf place the
winning bid on a dinner for 4 guests at John Ash
& Co. hosted by Efren.
Wolf is a Contributing Authority to Food Arts Magazine, a regular contributor to the
Chronicle's SF Gate's Inside Scoop, Voices column,
and a regular guest on KSRO’s, The Drive, the only live talk show in Sonoma County.
He has written a regular cuisine and culture commentary column for Forbes Magazine
and has been contributing editor to COOK’S Magazine. His newly published book
American Cheeses, from Simon & Schuster, was called by Alex Witchell of The New
York Times “a savvy valentine to the men and women who devote their lives to the
labor-intensive passion of cheesemaking.” In addition to appearing recently on CBS
Sunday Morning, he has appeared on CNN, the TV Food Network, and as a regular
contributor on CNBC’s “The Real Story”.
In 1986 Wolf formed Clark Wolf Company. In 1994, he opened his own restaurant,
The Markham, in New York City. After a successful two year run, Wolf sold his part
of The Markham to refocus on Clark Wolf Company. In 2009, Twenty-five years after
helping Chris Kimball launch the Who’s Who of Cooking in America Awards for Cook’s
Magazine, Wolf was inducted into that prestigious group, now the Hall of Fame for
the James Beard Foundation.
RCCS Wishes Olga King Farewell
RCCS’ loss becomes Early Learning Institutes gain!
Olga King came to RCCS in September of 2007.
She was running a large family child care home
and, at the same time, did provider trainings
in the areas of child development for other
agencies. Yet, because we thought she would be
a perfect match for the job, Olga signed on as
a child development resource specialist with us.
She has been a VERY busy woman ever since!
Olga has made herself an indispensable part of
the Provider Resources and Child Development
Resource Specialist team. She worked with our
Spanish-speaking families, doing parent conferences and developmental
profiles on their children; she assisted our Spanish-speaking child care
providers in their professional development and quality improvement
plans. When RCCS started its bilingual kindergym program in Forestville,
Olga got the program off to a solid start. She helped Soledad Cardona with
the Parents, Providers and Program (now known as the Padres Abriendo
Caminos) Committee meetings. And Olga did this all with a smile on her
face and positive attitude that makes her a joy to work with.
So we will miss her. She will be heading to ELI (Early Learning Institute) in
July. The Board and Staff here at RCCS wish her all the very best.

PROVIDERS: An Important Reminder for the Fiscal Year End on June Attendance Sheets from Andy Hilldale, RCCS Fiscal Specialist
River to Coast Children’s Services uses a fiscal year for bookkeeping and accounting. Our year starts on July 1st and ends on June 30th. Once the
books have been closed for the year, we cannot make changes to information we have reported to the government. This means that we cannot pay
any bills we have not received prior to the closing of the fiscal year. This includes Attendance Sheets.
June attendance sheets (and any previous months’ attendance sheets) received after the close of business on Monday July 9th 2012, cannot
be paid. Please BE SURE to get your sheets in on time!
Normally we try hard to be flexible, but the year end is a deadline we cannot alter, so this policy will be strictly enforced regardless of circumstance.
Please call if you have any questions.Thank you!Andy Hilldale,Fiscal Specialist,869-3613, Ext.106.

WATER SAFETY
Drowning is one of the leading
causes of child deaths each
year. Here are some tips to help
keep kids safe around water:
•Never leave a child unattended
around water. Children are drawn
to it, and very young children can
drown in just an inch of water.
•Emptyallbuckets,pailsand
bathtubs completely after each
use – do not leave them full and
unattended.
•Alwayshavean
ADULTsupervising
young swimmers.
•Don’tmixalcoholandsupervision
of children.
•Besurethattheadultwatching
your child knows how to swim, get
emergency help and perform CPR.
•Keeprescueequipment (such as life
preserver or shepherd’s hook) and
a telephone near
the pool.
•Plasticorblow-upwadingpools
should always be drained and
stored in an upright position after
each use.
•Enclosepoolscompletelywitha
self-locking, self-closing fence. Do
not leave furniture around that
children can use to climb over the
fence.
•Teachyourchildtoswimatanearly
age.
•Flotationdevicesorinflatabletoys
are not substitutes for supervision,
even if a child can swim.

Budget News from the California Child Care Resource and Referral Network and The Child
Development Policy Institute
Budget Updates as of 6/25/12
Child Care
All of the Governor’s restructuring (realignment) and statutory changes (SMI, SRR, RMR, Education and Training) were
put aside. The shift of (the remaining portion of) part-day State Preschool back into Proposition 98 ($165 million) was
sustained.
The across-the-board cut to most child development programs was increased from $50 million (5.5%) to $80 million
(8.7%). The increased cut is equivalent to a loss of 10,500 slots. The savings is scored as $245 million in 2012-13.
Apparently, the only out-year agreement was the elimination of a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) until mid-2015.

ALGUNOS PUNTOS DE NUESTRA POLIZA DE REFERENCIAS
La poliza de referencias de RIVER TO COAST CHILDREN’S
SERVICES respeta la preferencia de los padres. La responsabilidad de escoger el cuidado de niños es de los padres.
Asistimos a los padres a encontrar la variedad más amplia
de cuidado de niños que se ofrece y ofrecemos información para evaluar el cuidado de niños. Una recomendación de RCCS no significa una garantía de calidad. Les
pedimos a los padres que hagan una entrevista cuidadosa
y que examinen las recomendaciones antes de que dejen
un niño al cuidado de otra persona.
Padres que están buscando información acerca de quejas previas de una casa o centro con licencia para cuidar
niños, pueden llamar a Community Care Licensing tel.
588-5026.

OUR REFERRAL POLICY
•
RIVER TO COAST CHILDREN’S SERVICES’ referral policy is
based on respecting parental choice. Responsibility for
selecting child care rests with each parent. RCCS assists
parents in finding the widest range of available child care
and offers information to help families evaluate available
child care options. A RIVER TO COAST CHILDREN’S SERVICES referral is not a recommendation or a guarantee
of quality care. Parents should carefully interview and
check references of potential child care providers before
leaving a child in their care.
For Information on all licensed family child care
homes and centers call Community Care Licensing at
707.588.5026
