Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program

summary: The Office of Higher Education Programs (HEP) invites 
interested individuals to apply to serve as field readers evaluating 
grant applications for the Child Care Access Means Parents in School

intended to increase the access of low-income parents to postsecondary 
education through the provision of quality, affordable child care.
    Duties and Compensation of Field Readers: Field readers will review 
applications according to the applicable selection criteria. Each field 
reader will serve for a period of approximately 5 days. Each field 
reader who is selected will receive compensation for certain travel 
expenses and an honorarium.
    Field Reader Qualifications: The Department is seeking experienced

the provision of quality child care services and expanding access for 
low-income parents to attend institutions of higher education. These 
professionals should be familiar with issues dealing with the start-up 
and operation of a child care center, early childhood education, 
development of children between zero to three years of age, outreach to 
low-income families, and, in particular, child care programs in a 
college or university setting. Prospective field readers may include 
child care providers, administrators, and experts; individuals with 
experience in early childhood education and development of children 
between zero to three years of age; individuals from State agencies, 
institutions of higher education, and community services agencies; and 
individuals with experience helping low-income parents further their 
education. Each field reader must have the expertise necessary to 
accurately assess the applicant's showing on each of the applicable 
selection criteria.
