Bidders' Conference & Application Training - Early Intervention Summer, Universal Parenting Education, and Reading Enhancements

2019-01 Early Intervention Summer Camp 
This Request for Proposals (RFP) will fund multiple providers to offer full-day summer programs for children birth to 5 years (prior to kindergarten entry) with developmental delays or disabilities. Intended program participants will be children who attend academic school-year services funded by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, Part B or Part C), or who have developmental delays in areas of speech/language, cognition, physical well-being, social-emotional challenges or behavioral problems. The goal is to provide continuity of the beneficial impacts of school-year early intervention services through the summer months and reduce summer learning loss. 

2019-02 Universal Parenting Education 
This Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) will fund multiple providers to offer coordinated, brief parenting workshops, educational or public health events that increase awareness and engagement in effective parenting strategies to support child development across the developmental spectrum from prenatal/early childhood through adolescence. Services must be universally-relevant and available to all Miami-Dade parents and primary caregivers, with the goal of reaching large numbers of families across the county. 

2019-03 Reading Enhancement Services 
This Request for Proposals (RFP) will fund one entity to reduce summer learning loss and build literacy skills through differentiated literacy intervention (DLI) services in the summer for rising kindergarten, rising first and rising second grade children who are behind in reading and pre-reading skills. In addition, reading enhancement services during the school year will include on-site coaching and consultation for community-based Trust-funded after-school program staff to ensure staff members deliver high-quality DLI for participating elementary school children.
