UPDATED Child Counts for PA Pre-K Counts and Head Start Supplemental
in Governor’s Proposed Budget
On February 9, OCDEL distributed information on estimated children
that would be served in OCDEL programs in the Governor’s budget
proposal for 2010-2011. At that time, OCDEL indicated that the numbers
of children served for Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts and Head Start
Supplemental may be subject to change due to the proposed reduction in
funding carried forward from mid-year cuts in this fiscal year
(2009-2010). After a more detailed review, OCDEL has determined that
fewer children would be served in Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts and Head
Start Supplemental in the Governor’s proposed budget:
Early Intervention (Infant, Toddler, and Preschool) will increase
children to be served: An additional 1,100 infants and toddlers with
developmental delays and disabilities will be added to bring the total
number of children served to 34,384. An additional 1,200 preschoolers
will be added to bring the total number of children served to
47,312.
PA Pre-K Counts and Head Start Supplemental will decrease children to
be served:
* Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts – Services to 68 children will
be removed, which would lower the children from 11,800 to
approximately 11,732.
* Head Start Supplemental – Services to 117 children will be
removed, which would lower the children served from 5,743 to
approximately 5,626.
Other programs will be sustained, preserving services, as follows:
* Child Care Works Subsidized Child Care Program – Sustained
to reach approximately 134,400 children (monthly average).
* Keystone STARS - Sustaining higher quality early learning
opportunities for over 177,000 children and making it possible
for programs to achieve higher STAR levels.
* Nurse-Family Partnership - Sustained to reach more than 4,200
children and families.
* Parent-Child Home Program - Sustained to reach approximately
1,500 children and families.
OCDEL’s budget one-pager and powerpoint have been updated to
reflect these reduced services and are available online at
