The program has been assessed once since that time and is recognized as a Progressing Star program due to
its NECPA accreditation, receiving the CLASS assessment and scoring an average of 3.61 on the Toddler
CLASS. Tutor Time does not currently have access to scholarships because they were awarded prior to the
school participating in Quality First. However, the school does have access to incentive funding to help

enhancements that support high quality Early Childhood progranuning.

Organizational Capacity:
HUman Resources-Orientation and Professional Development:
At Tutor Time, more than 73% of the teaching staff have a CDA. Upon hire, all employees are required to
participate in mandatory orientation that trains new employees on our company policies, licensing requirements and
Quality First standards. This process spans several days and requires new staff to work with a mentor teacher prior
to working independently in the classroom. In addition, a school administrator or manager conducts ongoing
observations, providing informal and formal feedback to encourage teacher development. Goals for further
professional development are established during annual Performance Reviews,
Our Training Department develops monthly trainings, in-service sessions as well as host an annual Professional
Development Day each winter to foster continuing education for staff. We offer required trainings, such as
CPR/First Aid, Food Handlers certification and promote professional development opportunities which are available
in our community. The school regularly encourages staff to gain professional development and hosts Early
Childhood education classes. The school regularly hosts parent events, staff meetings and ongoing professional and
personal development workshops at the school. Our Tutor Time facility also has ample space to host parent
meetings in Our music and movement room. Our program is fully engaged in strengthening its commitment to
provide staff with a quality learning and working environment.
Center Operations-Health and Safety:
Health and safety standards are strictly adhered to and are governed by Arizona licensing requirements, company
policy and Quality First requirements. Upon hire, training on these standards is provided through company
mandated training and on an ongoing basis_ An Emergency Management Plan (EMP), developed by our company,
is available to parents and is posted in the school The EMP covers everything from weather-related catastrophes to
intruders and bomb threats. An off-site evacuation area has been established, and the location and evacuation
procedures are shared with every family at the time of enrollment. The staffs have access to a staff lounge area and
their own teacher spaces in the classrooms to support a positive work environment. The staff are required to attend
monthly meetings as well as ongoing safety trainings. The school has an identified Safety Captain who conducts

Evidence Based Curriculum:
We are confident that implementing the Creative Curriculum and Teaching Strategies Gold assessments mandated
by EHS will be an easy transition for our staff that currently use Learn from the Startni, Tutor Time's proprietary
curriculum for children ages birth to three years. As a result of successfully using curriculum based on the latest
research in how young children learn, our teachers are highly experienced in using valid and reliable developmental
assessment instruments,
The Learn from the Start developmental indicators (developed by Assessment Technologies, Inc. (ATI), a leader in
the field of valid and reliable assessment) are the 03 scales_ These research-based assessment Scales Measure
approaches to learning, cognitive development, language and communication development, social and emotional
development, and physical development and health. The indicators within each scale are based on developmental
paths validated using thousands of Head Start children and produce high reliabilities including Inter-Observer
Agreement.
Research Support detailing the validity of ATI 03 scales and indicators are available if needed, Our teachers are
adept in executing the cyclical nature of curriculum which relies on ongoing observation, implementation and
assessment to provide developmentally appropriate experiences in order to foster each individual child's growth and
learning.
Supervision and Transitions:
State ratios are maintained at all times for supervision and safety of all children. The school also has supervision
policies and procedures for in the classroom and on the playground to ensure the safety of each child. When hired
and ongoing, the teachers must sign off on the supervision policy. One of the best supervision policies the school
has is the Face-to-Name attendance procedures. The teacher must always do a face-to-name recognition of each
child during any transition time. During transitions from classroom to classroom or from classroom to outside the
Face-to-Name procedure is used.
The school is also equipped with cameras in each classroom which allows the management team, as well as families,
to observe what is happening throughout the day.
When a child transitions to a new classroom, the teacher works with the family and the school Director to set up a
transition plan for the child to best suit their developmental needs. Transitioning a child to a new classroom can take
from two weeks to one month depending on how well the child adjusts to their new environment. It is extremely
important that every child and family feel secure and safe during each transition in the school.
Pa may Communication and Engagement:
Tutor Time understands the importance of parents being involved with their child's development and provides an
array of resources and a library to support families during their child's development. For convenience, parent
meetings, family events and workshops are regularly offered on site in our music and movement room. The School
hosts Family Night events, such as the Pall Festival to allow family time and enhance parent/child/caregiver
relationships_ Parent classes are held for foster parents throughout the year as well.
Twice per year, Parent-Teacher Conferences are held so teachers and parents can discuss in detail their child's
development. Daily communication is sent home with each child to ensure that the family knows what their child
accomplished that day and how the day went. The family is also encouraged to share daily with the teacher any
pertinent information, observation or concern regarding their child. The Tutor Time staff is committed to providing
each child and family with a quality learning environment, and integrating the principles of the Parent, Family, and
Community Engagement Framework
Wrap Around Cure:
While Tutor Time understand the Early Head Start requirement is to offer care for eight hours of the day, we
understand the importance of full-time, full-day care for working families, families attending school or those seeking
employment. The opportunity for before and after care will be available to all children in the program to provide
consistency of care and we will fully staff our classrooms with qualified caregivers to meet that need.
Community Partnerships and Collaboration:
The school partners with local businesses and schools in the community to support families to ensure they have the
resources they need. The Director works with community colleges and other schools for staff professional
development. The school works with the Gilbert, Queens Creek and Greater Phoenix foster care organizations
May. 21. 2015 9:59AM No. 1192 P. 19
StrtiAL 14116-1IVP
(AASK) to provide foster families with meetings and training opportunities to support them in caring for their
children. The school staff understands that some families may need extra support in caring for their child due to
behavior concerns or special needs. Tutor Time is well equipped as a quality learning and support environment for
enrolled families including access to additional structural and quality supports from our national offices.
Timeline for Compliance:
Upon receiving the grant award we will begin the search for two qualified teachers internally and externally if
needed. We are confident that with the number of qualified staff in our program, we already have several candidates
for the position. We can expect the hiring process will realistically take about two months as this will include
conducting interviews, screening references and completing background checks. During this time we will also begin
ordering the furniture and materials needed for each classroom and setting up the classroom environment. We have
a very good partnership with our vendors and the process to completely set up both classrooms should take no more
than two months, based on shipping timelines.
We will partner with Maricopa County to begin scheduling trainings for our teachers in regards to the curriculum,
assessment and screening tools, hopefully within first four months of the program so that we can move forward with
using those tools with the children as soon as possible. We will partner with the Education Coach within six months
to create professional development plans for the teachers as well as the Director. We are confident that, in
partnership with the County and its resources, we will be able to meet the rigorous Early Head Start standards within
the 12 month timeframe.
EHS Quality Standards Compliance;
Working with our staff, we look forward to the potential assistance in helping them complete their CDA's in order to
meet EHS quality standards_ We will maintain our accreditation and continue to work on our goals to achieve the 3
STAR rating level. Although we already work with foster and low- income families, we may need assistance from
the Grantee in reaching El-IS-eligible families in the Infant and Toddler age groups to fill those classrooms. We will
designate space to accommodate the ratios required far the program.
Fiscal Management;
Given Tutor Time's corporate structure, the budget planning process is conducted in the spring of each year in
partnership with District Managers, Division Vice Presidents and the corporate Finance Team. Staff hours are
accounted for electronically on the school level and payment is made bi-weekly from the corporate level. Tutor
Time has a robust Finance and Accounting Department to ensure that Generally Accepted Accounting procedures
are adhered to on company level as well as on local, state and federal levels. A financial audit is conducted annually
by an outside accounting firm to ensure compliance.
