CSPP Adjustment Factor Funding

Programs that participate in BRIDGE Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation and receive California School Preschool Program funding qualify for an Adjustment Factor increase, which provides additional funding for engaging in consultation services.

BRIDGE meets all necessary criteria for programs to access this funding. Our consultation cycle, documentation process, and partnership structure align with state requirements, allowing participating programs to qualify without additional steps.

The Bridge Program and its consultants exceed all performance standards outlined in the performance standards (1302.45 & 1302.91). We operate in tandem with Head Start programs, meeting their administrative needs as well as the needs of their staff, children, and families.
