Early Learning Coalition Hillsborough County FY17-18 Annual Report 3 EVALUATION OF DIRECT ENHANCEMENT SERVICES Comprehensive Consumer Education Parents who need child care for their children are faced with the challenging task of learning how quality care is defined, locating a program that provides that level of quality, and securing a spot for their child. Parents must also find a place that is convenient, affordable, and aligns with their family’s philosophy of care and education for their child. In response, Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County’s (ELCHC) Family Services team has developed a holistic approach to delivering a variety of strategies and resources to support parents seeking the right place for their child. ELCHC’s Family Services Specialists are trained as Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) Specialists and offer unbiased information and guidance to families about child care options, information to help families identify quality early learning programs, financial assistance strategies and referrals to other community programs and resources as needed. ELCHC has four kiosks available in its Family Services department to ensure families have access to the technology needed to complete the online School Readiness (SR) and/or Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) application process. In addition, the ELCHC has partnered with six Family Resource Centers (FRC) to ensure families in all areas of Hillsborough County can easily access technology. The Family Services Coordinator provided training to case management staff at seven FRCs regarding the online application processes. In addition to supporting the School Readiness and VPK application processes, ELCHC staff maintains a comprehensive database of child care providers throughout Hillsborough County, including licensed Early Learning Coalition Hillsborough County FY17-18 Annual Report 4 child care centers and family child care homes as well as license-exempt facilities.

  • Towards Trash Free Waters: Quantifying Potential Aquatic Trash Recovery in the Hillsborough River Watershed
    Towards Trash Free Waters: Quantifying Potential Aquatic Trash Recovery in the Hillsborough River Watershed Prepared for Nestlé Waters North America October 27, 2015 Prepared by Timothy G. Townsend (Principal Investigator) Max J. Krause Sarah A. Gustitus Jeremy Toms University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611 i Executive Summary Despite advances in solid waste management and increased awareness of the negative environmental consequences of pollution, littering is still common in the US. Littering can be the result of carelessness, accidents, or intentional actions, but the effect is the same. In recent years, concerned citizens have increased their attention to litter in the Hillsborough River Watershed (HRW). The University of Florida (UF) research team collaborated with local municipalities and non-government organizations (NGOs) to quantify and map the quantity of collected litter within the HRW. Because much of the storm water within the HRW drains into the Hillsborough River, all of the litter within the watershed has the potential to become aquatic trash (PAT). The PAT that was collected in roadside and park cleanups before it made its way into the Tampa Bay or the Gulf of Mexico (recovered PAT) was cataloged into a database and mapped using ESRI ArcGIS software. Concentrations of recovered PAT were reported as pounds per acre for 1,015 cleanup events at 168 unique sites within the HRW from 2008-2014, shown in Figure E1. Additionally, educational campaigns such as storm drain markings and field visits by the WaterVentures mobile lab were mapped to identify where residents could be expected to have increased awareness of the negative issues associated with littering.
