Service(s): The Office of Early Childhood Education is seeking approval to contract with SCO Family of Services to direct, coordinate and administer the FirstStepNYC Early Education Leadership Institute. The Institute is a collaborative effort with the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS). The FirstStepNYC Leadership Institute will provide approximately 1,000 Early Childhood professionals at various stages of their careers practical, targeted training in essential leadership skills, coaching and support to become effective Early Childhood Directors of Pre-K programs that prepare children for kindergarten and beyond.

Total Contract Cost: $1,250,000
New York State Department Universal Pre-Kindergarten Grant-Contract Amendments
Service(s): The Office of Early Childhood Education (OECE) is seeking approval to amend contracts with 68 Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) providers. The NYCDOE applied for and was awarded a grant from the NYS Education Department (NYSED) to create or expand full-day Pre-K seats in the State. NYSED full-day is defined as 5 hours. Given the constraints of implementing the grant midway through School Year ‘14, and the existing breakdown of full-day seats being heavily tilted on the public school side, OECE decided to use these funds to expand half-day UPK programs provided by contracted Community Based Organizations.
