Day Care <br /> Services works with the schools and Department of Social Services <br /> to "create a uniform and continuous system of scholarship/subsidy <br /> assistance for families needing help with the cost of child <br /> care. " DCSA provides scholarship screening sessions so that <br /> eligibility and scholarship amounts are determined consistently <br /> and correctly. The agency works closely with DSS staff to ensure <br /> that they are not providing services to the same clients. <br /> Further coordination is conducted with Child Care Networks <br /> and Community House, UNC-CH, both school systems, Chapel Hill <br /> Public Library, Orange County Partnership for Young Children and <br /> other county and state agencies working with children. <br /> -7- <br />
