The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) was designed by the State of California to provide students before-school, after-school, summer, or intersession, hands-on, engaging learning experiences and programs that focus on developing: 

 
 - Academic Skills and Mastery
 - Social-Emotional Competency 
 - Learning Interests
 - Physical Needs 
 

The intent is that the programs are student-centered, results-driven, include community partners, and complement, but do not replicate learning activities in the regular school day and school year. (ED Section 8482.1[a])

“Expanded learning opportunities” does not mean an extension of instructional time, but rather, opportunities to engage students in enrichment, play, nutrition, and other developmentally appropriate activities. (EC Section 46120[3][1]).

In order for CHIME to operate these programs, we also partner with our families who use the programs to secure additional funding for our ELOP offerings.

Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) offers several financial assistance, or subsidy, programs to qualifying families on a non-discriminatory basis. For information contact the CCRC directly at http://www.ccrcca.org

Connections for Children administers several programs that assist families with childcare expenses. A subsidy is available to assist low-income families with partial or full payment towards child care while parents work, attend school or training programs. Funding for subsidies comes from a variety of Federal, State, and local funding. http://www.connectionsforchildren.org/families/child_care_subsidy/

Children's Home Society of California has three Child Care Assistance Programs that provide subsidized child care services to eligible families, including Alternative Payment, CalWORKs, and Child Protective Services. http://www.chs-ca.org/child-care/ccap

Crystal Stairs, Inc.
CalWORKs (California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids) program is the state's implementation of the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program and it provides cash grants and welfare-to-work services for families to meet basic needs and assist the family's move toward self-sufficiency.
