ANALYSIS
At its February 9, 2011 meeting, the Mayor and Commission approved Resolution 2011-
27589 authorizing the submission of a joint application between the City and Barry University
to The Children's Trust in response to its Request For Proposals for Early Childhood
Development Programs.
On June 13, 2011, the Board of The Children's Trust awarded the City $150,000 for
implementation of the Parent-Child Home Program (PCHP) commencing August 1, 2011.
The Parent-Child Home Program is a home-based early literacy and parenting program
designed to increase language and literacy skills, enhance social and emotional development,
and strengthen the parent-child relationship for children aged 16 to 71 months. PCHP has
been awarded evidence-based best practice status by Child Trends, a nationally recognized
researcher of childhood programs. For 23 weeks, participant families receive twice weekly
visits by a trained Home Visitor who provides them a free toy or book each week. Families are
visited for a minimum of 23 weeks within the program year.
City staff underwent three days of training by the Parent-Child Home Program in Garden City,
New York in August 2011. The training ensures that staff is prepared to deliver this best

practice program while providing fidelity towards expected outcomes. In turn, City staff
provided training to Barry University graduate students who will serve as Home Visitors.
The City recruits participating families and conducts an initial assessment of the child and
family including the Ages and Stages Questionnaire-111 and the Ages and Stages Social-
Emotional Questionnaire.
After the initial assessment, City staff introduces families to their respective Home Visitor who
then establishes a visiting schedule to ensure that families are seen twice per week. The
Home Visitors model positive parent-child interaction during the first weekly visit. The second
visit serves as a review and sets the stage for the parent to take the lead and model the
behavior introduced at the prior visit. Home Visitors are required to complete a home visit
record after each visit that documents the interaction between the child and parent as well as
others in the household.
Barry University, the City's sub-contractor, will be paid $31.88 per home visit, or$1,466.52 per
year, per family served. The total sub-contractor budget will not exceed $73,326. The contract
ends July 31, 2012.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission authorize the Mayor
and City Clerk to execute an agreement between the City of Miami Beach, Florida and Barry
University, for Barry University to be the provider of home visiting services for the Parent-Child
Home Program, in accordance to The Children's Trust contract# 1128-1090, in an estimated
amount of $73,326.00.
