Resources for families

Have questions about any of these resources or need help navigating how to access them?  Please reach out to our school social worker, Kate Lefco, at 971-276-1759 via phone or text.  Hablo ingles y español.  I work part time and I am in the office Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Child Care Resources

Do you know about the ERDC program?  The ERDC program is a state funded program that provides childcare funds to families who have two working parents and make 185% or less of federal poverty income level.  More details about the program here.  If you need assistance in completing an application please reach out to Kate Lefco, school social worker at 971 276 1759.  

Peninsula has on site childcare before and after school via Campfire USA.  Rates and information about the program can be found here and the form to register here.  There are still spots available for 2021-2022.   There are limited numbers of scholarships directly available to families.  Additionally,  Camp Fire USA makes the following statement regarding prioritization of spots: "To address those most impacted by the pandemic, support school districts’ efforts to ensure educational equity for all students, and foster a commitment to diverse programming Camp Fire Columbia will prioritize child care for the following students: BIPOC students or students whose caregivers are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of color), single parent households, and students in the foster care system. Please use the “notes” field in your personal section in the FAMILY PORTAL to identify any circumstances within your family for prioritization. Prioritization will not guarantee placement in program."
