Regular Head Start Expansion Application
STATEMENT OF NEED:
Weld County covers an area of 4,004 square miles in north central
Colorado. The County Seat and principal city, Greeley, is located in
the west central part of the County and contains almost half of the
county's population of approximately 123,439. The population is up 38%
from the 1970 census.
The 1980 census data identified 1,913 children four (4) years of age and
2,028 three (3) years of age. The Weld County Commodity Supplemental
Foods Program for low-income families served an average of 1,046 chil-
dren in the time period of January-June, 1984, that were between the
ages of three (3) and five (5).
The Weld County Head Start Program is presently funded to provide
services for 225 children. The current program has the Main Center in
Greeley conducting four (4) double session classes. The Greeley Center
also prepares the food for both the Greeley and Evans centers. The
enrollmert of children is at its maximum and there is always a waiting
list for the Greeley area. There are four (4) rural centers in Weld
County: Evans , Pierce, Johnstown, and Frederick. The Johnstown Center
is located in an elementary school and food is purchased from the
school . The Pierce and Frederick centers are housed in churches, and
the Evans Center is located about six (6) miles from Greeley.
At the present, three (3) rural centers operate double sessions with a
team of one (1) teacher and one (1) teacher aide working morning and
afternoon sessions. One (1) rural center operates only one (1) session,
and the Greeley Center operates four (4) double sessions with a team of
two (2) teachers and one (1) teacher aide, with one (1) teacher working
one (1) session each, and the one (1 ) teacher aide working both
sessions.
The Head Start Program recently completed an indepth assessment which
was conducted by the Regional Office. The cost analysis section of the
evaluation showed the following:
1. The overall cost per child per hour was higher than the
average cost in the region by approximately 15%. This is
directly related to the number of children served by Head
Start and the limitation of space which currently prohibits
more children from participating in the program.
2. The amount of actual teaching hours by the Greeley staff in
comparison to the rural centers is not as efficient as it
could be, i .e. , the teaching staff in Greeley work three and
one-half (3f) hours in the classroom and utilize four (4)
hours for daily planning.
METHODOLOGY:
By utilizing Expansion Monies , the Weld County Head Start Program is
proposing to increase enrollment from 225 to 275 children.
Aims Community College has donated two (2) used steel buildings, approx-
imately 30' by 80' , to Weld County Head Start Program. These buildings
were previously used as classrooms by Aims Community College. The
buildings will be placed at the Greeley Head Start Center on some of the
land that is currently occupied by the playground (part of the play-
ground will be relocated to a different section on the Head Start land).
The set up cost to have the buildings transported and placed on Head
Start land will be covered through other Human Resources and county
funds.
The buildings will provide for two (2) additional classrooms, as well as
space for Parent Involvement activities and training. With the addition
of the two (2) classrooms at the Greeley site, the following consid-
erations apply:
1. With the addition of the two (2) classrooms which will operate
double session, enrollment can be increased.
2. Only two (2) teacher aides will be needed in order to expand
the Greeley Center. Teachers will be transitioned into having
responsibility for two (2) classes , morning and afternoon
sessions, this also has been reco.mrended by the Regional
Office.
3. The Evans Center which had one (1) double session classroom
will be transferred into the new classroom at the Greeley
Center. After the initial set up cost for the buildings , the
Head Start Program will have lower costs due to the elimina-
tion of rent, telephone, utilities, and transportation of food
to the Evans Center.
4. Greeley has the highest amount of low-income population in the
county; therefore, more low-income children can be enrolled.
5. Enrollment will be increased by a minimum of fifty (50)
children. Quality of services will be maintained in all the
areas.
HEALTH:
During the past year, the Head Start Program has worked with the private
health providers in the community in order to secure physicals for the
children. At the present, the program pays a minimum of $30.00 per
physical per child. An agreement with the Sunrise Community Health
Center in Greeley is being written at this time. The Sunrise Community
Health Center will provide physical examinations for the children
(including hemocrit and urine analysis) at 515.00 per child. This is
half the price the program has been paying until now.
DENTAL:
After the on-site review performed by Regional Office, it was recommend-
ed to the program to have the children examined while sitting in a
completely equipped dental office.
In the past, a local dentist would come to the center and screen the
children with a flashlight and make referrals at no cost to the Head
Start Program. All the services provided after the referral were
covered with a standard payment of $75.00 per child. Starting in
September, 1984, all the dental examinations will be conducted at the
Sunrise Community Health Center at a cost of $5.00 per child. All
follow-up treatment for children who require additional dental services,
will be paid at the rate of $2.00 per visit, regardless of the amount of
work performed on the children's teeth.
EDUCATION:
A full-time CDA Training position is being created. This position will
work closely with the Educational Coordinator and will also provide
support to Family Services/Parent Involvement Component in planning
training for parents.
SPECIAL NEEDS:
The position of Special Needs Coordinator is being restructured in order
to become an integral part of the Health Component. This is being done
because many of the two (2) areas' functions are closely related.

Two (2) teachers aides @ $592.25 x 9 months S 10,660.50
Transportation salaries 7,038.50
