Agreement Compliance

 

School Readiness Contracts

The Early Learning Coalition of Manatee County is responsible for monitoring School Readiness contracts to ensure the School Readiness (SR) programs are in compliance as set forth in Florida Statutes, state rules, county guidelines, and procedures of the ELC and Agency for Workforce Innovation.

The Compliance Department monitors all contracted child care providers for compliance in all areas contained in the contracts. We require providers to comply with the terms and conditions as outlined in the program specific agreements and corrective actions issued as a guide to achieving compliance. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action up to and including the termination of the corresponding agreements.

The ELC is responsible for monitoring the VPK classrooms based on the state-approved VPK Monitoring Tool which is given to the provider at the time of the monitoring. Our Provider Quality Department is also available to assist providers with technical assistance and best practice methods used to improve program quality and address corrective action plans.
