INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of DirectorsEarly Leaming Coalition of Miami-Dade/l\,fonroe, Inc.
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Early Learning Coalition ofMiami-Dade/Monroe, Inc. (the "Organization") (a Florida nonprofit organization), whichcomprise the statements of financial position as of June 30,2018 atd 2017, and the related
statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the
related notes to the financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial St.tements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation ofthese financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this
includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation offinancial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor'sjudgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
intemal control relevant to the entify's preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the pqpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of signiflcant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficiant and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESBasis of AccountingThe Organization prqrares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. Accounting standardsestablish extemal financial reporting standards for nolfor-profit organizations, which include four basicfinancial statements: the statement of financial position, the statement ofactivities, the statement of functionalexpenses, and the statement of cash flows. Accounting standards require that resources be classified foraccounting and reporting purposes into the following three separate classes ofnet assets:
r Unrestricted - Net assets which are not subject to any donor-imposed stipulations or restrictions; andinclude all revenue, gains and losses that are not changes in permanently or temporarily restricted net assets.
' Temporarily Restricted - Net assets whose use by the Organization is limited by donor-imposedstipulations that either expire with the passage of time or that can be fulfilled or otherwise removed by aitionsof the Organization pursuant to those stipulations. The Organization presently does not have any temporarilyrestricted net assets.

_ ' Permanently Restricted - Net assets whose use by the Organization is limited by donor-imposed- stipulations that neither expire with the passage of time nor can be fuifilled or otherwise removed by actions ofthe Organization. The Organization presently does not have any pemianently restricted net assets.
- Management EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
- United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectcertain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures including, but not limited to the determinationof the net realizable value of receivables and the useful lives of donated and acquired assets. Accordingly,
_ actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)Concentration of Credit RiskThe Organization places its cash deposits with creditworthy, high-quality institutions. At times, cash balancesmay temporarily exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Coverage C'FDIC") limit of$250,000.
Through the use of Repurchase Agreement Contracts with the financial institutions, the Organization's depositsare fully collateralized on a daily basis with U.S. Govemment securities and Govemment Agency Bondspledged up to the amount of deposits. The securities will be priced at their fair market value on the day of thetransaction plus an excess margin to ensure deposits will be fully secured. Under these agreements, a dailyconfirmation is generated by the financial institutions showing what securities the Organization contractuallyowns. Repurchase accounts are not covered by FDIC insurance.
The Organization has 51,083,945 in net assets as of June 30,2018. Substantially alt of the Organization,ssupport was provided by the Federal govemment and the State of Florida under early childhood education andvoluntary pre-kindergarten programs. A significant reduction in this level of suppo(, if this were to occur,would have an adverse effect on the Organization's programs and activities and its ability to satisly its financialand program obligations and commitments. However, the payable obligations under the subcontracted serviceprovider arrangements are only payable fiom the Organization upon support provided from the Federalgovemment and the State of Florida. To the extent the subcontracted payment arrangements will not beforthcoming, the Organization will not be obligated. The Organization's riik is limited to the support receivedfrom the federal and state grants.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROLOVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE ANDOTTIER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDM OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTSPERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WTTH GOT/ERNMENT AUDTTING STANDARDS
To the Board of DirectorsEarly Leaming Coalition of Miami-Dade/lV{onroe, Inc.
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in GovertmentAuditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financialstatements of the Early Leaming Coalition of Miami-Dade/1v{onroe, Inc. ( the "Organization") (anonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as ofJune 30, 2018,
and the related statements of activities, functional expenses and cash flows for the year then
ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
December 18, 201 8.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the
Organization's intemal control over financial reporting (intemal control) to determine the auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose ofexpressing our opinion on
the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe Organization's intemal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Organization's internal control.
A deficiency in internal conffol exists when the design or operation ofa control does not allowmanagement or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, toprevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
dehciency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented,
or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in intemal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yetimportant enough to merit attention by those charged with govemance.
Our consideration of intemal control was for the limited purpose described in the frst paragraph
of this section and was not designed to identiff all deficiencies in intemal control that might be
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we didnot identiry any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been ideltified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable .rssurance about whether the Organization's financial statements
are free from material misstatement, we performed tesS of its compliance with certain provisions
of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a
direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However,
providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and
accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results ofour tests disclosed no instances ofnoncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported trnder Government AuditingStandards.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the Organization is responsible for establishing and maintaining effectiveinternal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. lnplanning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Organization's intemalcontrol over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and materialeffect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate inthe circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federalprogram and to test and report on intemal control over compliance in accordance with the
Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.650, Rales of the Auditor General, but not for the purpose ofexpressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, wedo not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's intemal control overcompliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a controlover compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performingtheir assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type ofcompliance requirement of a federal program or state project on a timely basis. A materialweakness in internal contol over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, inintemal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that materialnoncompliance with a type of compliance requirement ofa federal program or state project willnot be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internalcontrol over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination ofdeficiencies, in intemal control overcompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program and state project that isless severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough tomerit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of intemal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described inthe first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identifo all deficiencies in internal
control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We didnot identiry any deficiencies in intemal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identihed.
Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Board Secretary
Background:
In 2015 the Office of Head Start awarded the Early Learning Coalition funds to implement an
Early Head Start –Child Care Partnership program. Included in the funds were Startup
dollars. In the request for the startup funds, the Early Learning Coalition allocated a portion of
the funds for facility improvements to ensure childcare facilities met health and safety
requirements. In 2017-2018, four centers separated from the program and three additional
centers reduced their enrollment slots. As a result of the separations and reductions,
partnerships with seven (7) childcare providers in eight (8) new centers were created. In order to
comply with Head Start Performance Standard 1302.47(b)(2), the eight (8) new sites will need
updated playground equipment.
1302.47(b)(2)
Equipment and materials. Indoor and outdoor play equipment, cribs, cots, feeding chairs,
strollers, and other equipment used in the care of enrolled children, and as applicable, other
equipment and materials meet standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) or the American Society for Testing and Materials, International (ASTM). All equipment
and materials must at a minimum:
(i) Be clean and safe for children’s use and are appropriately disinfected;
(ii) Be accessible only to children for whom they are age appropriate;
(iii) Be designed to ensure appropriate supervision of children at all times;
(iv) Allow for the separation of infants and toddlers from preschoolers during play in
center-based programs; and,
(v) Be kept safe through an ongoing system of preventative maintenance.
Action Requested: Authorize the President and CEO to negotiate and execute an amendment
to Contract PSA 18-25 with Lehtinen Schultz, PLLC for Legal services.
