The Colorado Department of Education (CDE), Early Childhood Initiatives has completed family
7
needs assessments, comprehensive on-site evaluations and has required a community self-
assessment plan annually from Weld County since1995. Family CONNECTS is the local agency
responsible for implementation of services required under IDEA-Part C(Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act-Birth to Three Years)who reports to CDE,the lead agency for Colorado and as part
of the federal monitoring requirements completes assessment and site review activities.
The reports for the last five years have all indicated similar needs identified by the families and
providers interviewed:
Families want to have services be provided inclusively in their homes and community.
• Children with disabilities are included on a small scale but there needs to be an increase in
inclusive services.
• The lack of transportation is a barrier for families to access services and supports.
• The language barrier and limited number of culturally sensitive professionals isolates many
of the monolingual Spanish speaking families. (51% of the children enrolled in FENWC's
Head Start program are monolingual Spanish speaking).
Weld County has a great history of agency collaboration but limited funds to expand
services.
More funding needs to be allocated for families with young children (birth to three years).
Families want a person/service coordinator that is available regularly to help them navigate
systems.
• Families need support to access childcare and respite care for children with special needs.
The Weld County Childcare and Youth Supervision Task Force contracted with the University of
Northern Colorado to conduct a needs assessment(Executive Summary attached)on childcare and
youth supervision. The assessment was broken into three age categories, 0-5 years, 6-12 years,
and 13-18 years.
The following is an excerpt from the study:
"Perceived childcare needs for children age 5 and under in Weld County - Respondents
were asked to indicate what childcare services they would like to have available for children
age 5 and under in their community. The majority of comments related to the need for 1)
childcare that was more flexible, 2) infant-care (age 2 and under)..."
According to recent statistics from the Child Care Resource and Referral Agency, there are 129
infant slots and 311 toddler slots available at child care centers with an average of a 7%-10%
vacancy rate. Local family day care homes have the capacity to provide care for 550 children under
the age of two; however, out of those 550 slots approximately 206 of them are available for infants.
The average vacancy rate for open infant slots is relatively small at 2%-5%, and those are generally
filled within weeks of the vacancy.

Housing continues to be a concern in Weld County. There are limited low to moderate income
housing units in the vicinity. The waiting lists for subsidized housing are lengthy. Families wait from
six months up to two years before they are placed in affordable housing. The current vacancy rate
in Weld County is 4.8%.
Community Health Clinics are available within Weld County. Sunrise Community Health Clinic in
Greeley provides services to families in northern Weld County, The Children's Clinic focuses on
providing services to children in the community. Plan de Salud del Valle provides services to families
in southern Weld County, and the Weld County Health Department has services available to all
families within Weld County. There however, are gaps within the system. There also is a need for
affordable medical care, primary care providers and medical insurance for those families who do not
qualify for Medicaid or CHP+. Sunrise Community Health Center has added a dental clinic which
will primarily provide services to low-income children to be housed at the Monforts Children's Clinic.
10
These dental service will also accept Medicaid.
Mental Health services in Weld County are lacking. Persons in need of services have to wait for an
average of six weeks to be seen at the North Range Behavioral Health Services, unless they are in
a crisis situation. North Range Behavioral Health Services provides services on a sliding fee scale
basis to Weld County residents; however, the majority of services are to clients in Northern Weld
County, and minimal services are available in Southern Weld County. They are currently enhancing
services in southern Weld County, and expanding their outreach efforts to the Hispanic Population
via a new program - Multi-Cultural Services Outreach Program. As state and local funding
decreases for mental health services so will their ability to enhance and increase necessary
programs.
Transportation is also an issue in Weld County,especially in the rural areas. There is a bus system
within the City of Greeley that reaches to Evans. The Division of Human Services, Mini-Van system
provides services to families in the rural areas; however,the families must be attached to a program
that has contracted Mini-Van services, or be eligible for Medicaid Van services. Families without
transportation have to rely on family members and friends for transportation in order to receive
services.
Another issue which continues to be identified by both Head Start parents, and the community at
large via the"Weld County Childcare and Youth Supervision Needs Assessment Survey"is a need
for infant and toddler childcare in the community. Head Start parents also responded that there is
need for more child programs particularly in the Hudson/Keenesburg (south east Weld County)
where there is only one childcare center besides Head Start. and in Northern Weld County,where
only one early child hood program is offered in the area.
The Family Educational Network of Weld County proposes to continue a comprehensive Head Start
Program in Weld County, providing services to low-income children. Our targeted Head Start
enrollment is 562, no fewer than 56 children with disabilities will be enrolled and no more than 56
children will be in the 10%over-income category. This number represents the total number of Head
Start eligible children to be enrolled that includes 15 new children due to the addition of Ft. Lupton.
We also provide services to 41 CPP eligible children in one school district. CPP on a statewide
level has decreased the number of CPP slots and this has affected the enrollment/wait-list numbers
of our program. Our primary targeted children are children who meet the income levels established
by OMB (including children whose families are receiving TANF benefits), children with disabilities,
English language learners, and children who are in crisis (foster children).
Geographic Area (map attached)
The target areas of FENWC Greeley Centers are North and East Greeley with a 75% Hispanic
population, 25% of those families are monolingual Spanish speakers. The Greeley sites also
provide services to the rural/agricultural areas which consist of Kersey and Gill to the east and
Windsor and Severence to the west. School Districts served are Weld County School Districts 6,
RE-7, RE-9, Re-3J, RE-5J, Re-1J, Re-1, RE-4 & RE-8. The northern portion of Evans is also a
targeted area, where there exists a large Section VIII housing complex. This area has a
predominately Anglo population with an approximate Hispanic population rate of 32%.
The Milliken Center serves children located in the towns of Johnstown and Milliken, Weld County
School District RE-5J. This area is predominately agricultural with some families commuting to
Greeley, Loveland and Longmont for employment. The town of Milliken has a predominant Hispanic
population; about 10% of the Hispanic population speaks Spanish as their primary language.
The Frederick Center services the towns of Dacono, Frederick, Firestone, Erie and the surrounding
11
rural areas, St. Vrain School District RE-1J. This area has a minority population of Hispanics at
about 30%, with 5% speaking Spanish only. This community is similar to the Johnstown/Milliken
area in that is agriculturally based with some families commuting to the Denver/Boulder areas for
employment.
The Hudson Center serves children in the towns of Hudson, Kennesburg, Prospect Valley and
Roggen, Weld County School District RE-3J. The population is predominately Anglo. The
economics of these communities are agriculturally based.
The Fort Lupton Center is providing services to children in the surrounding Ft. Lupton area in
Southern Weld County. The population is 36% Hispanic. Families either are engaged in agricultural
work or community to surrounding areas for employment.
APPROACH AND RESULTS OR BENEFIT EXPECTED
Program Approach
The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) is dedicated to providing quality
comprehensive services to children and families. In order to achieve this goal FENWC shares in a
strong network that has been developed within the community of Weld County to offer maximal
support and services to children and families. As well as offering support to the families of FENWC
we have developed a system that provides support services to staff in the areas of training, personal
development and needed direct services. Staff support services include,AA/CDA Training,support
from school districts regarding special needs issues, Mental Health Services,opportunities to enroll
in college level courses, and enhanced technical support from component specialists. We have
restructured our staff development program so that staff will be encouraged and supported to
pursue advanced educational opportunities. See PA 20 Narrative.
The Family Educational Network of Weld has a many faceted means of assessing the needs of
families and their children to ensure that an individualized program is adopted. To assess the needs
of each family in its entirety, a trained Center Director completes a Family Partnership Agreement
with each family. The Family Partnership Agreement is used to determine how FENWC may best
support the family. Once the assessment is complete a plan is written for the family, to include;
family strengths, goals and objectives, employment needs, educational needs. The goal of the
program is to assist families in achieving self-sufficiency and thus, being enabled to support their
children through their educational careers. Follow-up is done on a pre-determined basis, by the
Center Director to assure the family is reaching its goals and to continue nurturing the family through
their successes.
Once children are accepted into the program they receive screenings, which include, Ages and
Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), vision, hearing, height and weight, hematocrit and nutrition. If the
screening pinpoints any possible concerns in a child's development the child is referred to Child-
Find, Interagency Early Childhood Clinic, which consists of a team of professional volunteers to
assess the best possible means to serve a child. The process includes FENWC staff and the child's
parents. After the process is complete, and after receiving a diagnosis from a professional and an
Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is written for the child. If a child enters the program with a
professional diagnosis the process is by-passed and an IEP is written/implemented immediately.
Follow-up with and support for the family will be done with the family via home visits, parent/teacher
conferences and telephone calls. Through the aforementioned process the family and child will
receive maximum support for their unique and individual needs. FENWC has increased
coordination with the School Districts Special Education Programs to receive maximal support for
the teaching staff and the children.
Families involved in the program will receive service coordination to help them develop individual
goals, priorities, and activities that will move them toward family self-sufficiency, enhanced
12
parenting skills and early literacy and learning for their children. The service provider will develop a
Family Partnership Agreement for all families that identifies strategies to access medical, dental,
immunizations, mental health,and other services required to meet their individually identified goals.
These services and supports include: general awareness of resources in the community,
education about immunization and well child care schedules nutrition, developing stress
management and coping skills to deal with multiple changes or transitions, promoting
developmental growth in children through nurturing and stimulating interaction and creating a sense
of family stability.
The partnerships, which will be created by the Family Educational Network of Weld County
(FENWC), will focus on streamlining services and coordinating care for children and families.
Partnerships will be forged with agencies that currently work with children and families within Weld
County to simplify family/child entry into systems, increase the range of services available to
families and ensure continuity of care from prenatal to preschool. This flexibility allows for the Head
Start Program to meet the unique and cultural needs of families in a timely fashion.
Families and children will receive the full range of health services to include;education, nutritional
services, preventive health care and mental health. Children will enter school healthy and will have
completed the mandatory series of immunizations. Ensuring routine well-child medical visits will
promote children who will suffer from fewer illnesses and disease, therefore, increasing their
attendance rate, allowing for future educational successes.
Through the proposed coordination of comprehensive early childhood programs, children will
develop the social/emotional, cognitive and physical skills necessary to ensure that their future
educational experiences are positive. As well as providing the aforementioned skills,the children's
language and literacy skills, problem solving skills, and self-esteem will increase. All early
childhood programming will be developmentally appropriate according to The Head Start Program
Performance Standards (CFR 1304), and The National Association for the Education of Young
Children (NAEYC). Per shifts in the national philosophy, (emphasis in Kindergarten readiness),
FENWC will concentrate heavily on adapting it's curriculum and approach to child development
better meet the expectations of the local educational agencies. Furthermore, we will attempt to
better coordinate with the local school systems so that we are fully aware of their expectations for
kindergarten entry and children will enter kindergarten with the confidence they need to be
successful. Children participating in the program are expected to successfully graduate from high
school, participate actively in appropriate extracurricular activities and become contributing
members of the community.
Literacy education and activities will be encouraged for adults as well as General Education
Diploma (GED) support, English as a Second Language (ESL), or basic skills for employment.
Participants lacking a high school education will be enrolled in GED/ABE classes or Remediation
activities. The need for literacy enrichment will be determined through the Family Partnership
Agreement, and all families will receive the service coordination and support necessary to reach
identified goals. Literacy activities will be provided at the center levels and "literacy bags" with
literacy activities will be sent home with the children so that they can participate in literacy activities
with parents and other family members.
The FENWC/Employment Services -" Literacy in Technology Program" can provide adult
educational services. FENWC and Employment Services of Weld County have implemented a
Wide Area Network,which includes adult literacy programs and General Education Diploma(GED)
programs. The project uses the highly successful INVEST-Destinations Curriculum/Program,
13
which has a successful rate of educational gain. Studies indicate a full grade-level gain for eight
hours of study, using the Destinations approach
Monolingual non-English speaking families will be provided with English as a Second Language
classes either through the "Literacy in Technology Program's" Rosetta Stone Curriculum or
referrals to appropriate agencies in the community. Upon mastery in the English language, the
families will proceed into remedial and vocational education to promote self-sufficiency and
employability retainment, if the need is indicated on the Family Partnership Agreement. The adult
educational level will be a minimum high school graduation orGED,or equivalent grade level at the
end of the program. Many will move on to vocational or higher education. With an increased
literacy level, it will be possible for parents to continue their education and/or receive vocational or
other training leading to gainful employment, and leave the welfare and public assistance rolls.
Networking endeavors of FENWC include establishing stronger working relationships with the Weld
County School Districts. We have developed a"neighborhood school"concept;ten of twelve sites
are located on elementary school campuses or within the elementary school facility. Transitional
activities are occurring at all sites. FENWC staff have the opportunity to share in the in-services and
training of the school districts, parents have early exposure to the school system and;therefore,are
enabled to assist their child toward a successful educational experience. Children are successfully
transitioned into the public school system;as service delivery is enhanced by the public school,and
special needs children continue receiving services without interruption.
The staff of FENWC is involved in many community organizations and boards that provide direct
and support services for families and children. By this involvement our program is apprized of the
needs of families and the community, and is able to assist families with many of their needs.
Employment and literacy are a great need of Head Start families. Our relationship with the Weld
County Department of Human Services, Employment Services allows service coordinators to
effectively assist families with their employment and literacy needs. The computer learning lab of
Employment Services coordinates with us to hook-up computers in all of centers via a Wide Area
Network (WAN)which allows our families easier access to a literacy program. The program also
offers educational opportunities for staff.
If the programs through Employment Services do not meet the needs of the families, there are
numerous resources in the community that families can be referred to. FENWC has an excellent
working relationship with community agencies.
One exciting significant change in the scope of Head Start services offered by FENWC is a new
partnership with School District RE-9, in the Fort Lupton area. The school district received
significant cuts to it's Colorado Preschool Program and to it's own budget. In past years the district
provided early childhood educational programming for all four year olds in it's catchments area and
due to the recent budgetary changes they were unable to provide services to all children. Due to
this the school district approached us about providing Head Start services in their district. We are
now providing services to 30 children in the district. The district is providing us space and
transportation at no cost. We will also be coordinating curricular activities with their early childhood
programs.
Fatherhood Initiatives will also be a piece of the relationship with North Range Behavioral Health
(our mental health services provider). Parenting classes will be developed specifically designed to
address the challenges facing fathers in supporting their children. Every attempt will be made to
ensure that socialization groups are scheduled so that fathers may participate. Support groups for
parents will be designed to meet the varied needs of the families and may include: mothers groups,
fathers groups, couples groups, and other primary care giver groups. Fathers will also be heavily
1a
recruited and encouraged to actively participate in the Parent Policy Council.
As well as wording with North Range Behavioral Health Services we intend to increase our
relationship with CARE (Child Advocacy Resource and Education)to promote healthy marriages via
their many workshop and programs.
The Division of Human Services' Employment Services of Weld County also has numerous youth
programs targeting low-income adolescents and teens. These programs focus on dropout
prevention and working with youth at risk of being or are in the juvenile justice system,support post
secondary education, and job skills development.
The AmeriCorp program through Employment Services in Weld County is unique in that focuses on
disenfranchised youth and is committed to reconnecting them to the community and changing their
behaviors so that they become productive adults. Once the youth complete the program they are
provided with support and financial aide to enter an institution of higher education. AmeriCorp is
supportive of the Family Educational Network of Weld County they provide facility maintenance and
repair to the centers and work on projects that enhance the quality the centers. Youth connected
with Head Start will be referred to and supported by Employment Services.
Nutritional Services for children and families will be provided for by referrals to the Food Stamp
Program; Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); and The Commodity and
Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). An important piece of the nutritional services will be nutrition
counseling which will be integrated through home visits, parent activities, and classroom
experiences. Children will receive nutritious snacks at the socialization groups in accordance with
the Head Start Performance Standards. FENWC also has on staff a nutritionist who will review the
menus for the snacks, provide nutritional educational materials to the home visitors,and necessary
home visits and training for parents.
The Division of Human Services works closely with the Department of Social Services to provide
families with assistance in obtaining needed income support. Due the close relationship of Division
of Human Services and the Department of Social Services via coordination of employment services
families will be readily accepted into appropriate programs. Placement of families in the Early Head
Start program will be facilitated because of the unique relationship of the two agencies. The Family
Educational Network of Weld County currently works closely with the child support unit through
Social Services to assist parents in receiving child support payments due to them. Parents from the
Early Head Start will receive assistance within our current system.
Results or Benefit Expected
The Family Educational Network of Weld County is committed to providing at-risk children and
families with a developmentally appropriate, comprehensive program that will promote self-esteem,
foster social-competence, develop independence, and enable children and families to experience
future lifetime successes.
Expected program benefits are:
1)To improve the child's health and physical abilities, including taking appropriate steps to
correct present physical and mental problems and to enhance every child's access to an
adequate diet, and to improve family's attitudes toward health care and physical abilities.
2)To encourage self-confidence, spontaneity, curiosity,and self-discipline which will assist
in the development of the child's social and emotional health.
3)To enhance the child's mental processes and skills with particular attention to conceptual
and communications skills.
15
4)To establish patterns and expectations of success for the child,which will create a climate
of confidence for present and future learning efforts and overall development.
5)To increase the child's and the family's ability to relate to each other and to others.
6)To enhance the sense of dignity and self-worth within the child and his family.
Based on the results of the Program Information Report,Community Assessment,Self-Assessment,
Monitoring Reports, ECERS, and the Intercultural Audit the following goals have been established
for our three-year strategic plan (attached): 1) Increase the number of children with health
insurance. 2) Increase child outcomes in the areas of language, math and science. 3)Increase staff
retention and moral. 4)Increase opportunities for higher education and professional development.
5) Increase parent educational levels and opportunities. 6) Teachers will effectively individualize
curriculum based on child outcomes.
As a piece of our strategic planning session we revised the program's mission, vision and belief
statements. These took into account the information generated from the aforementioned reports.
After analyzing the information it was also determined that our current center locations,the options
offered, the recruitment areas, and the types of children and families that are given priority for
recruitment and selection are appropriate.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
PROGRAM ACCOUNT 20
The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) is dedicated to staff development and
training for staff and parents. Training happens at various levels from attending workshops and
conference to hands on training, as well as formal training in a classroom setting. Therefore
FENWC is prepared to provide training in a variety of fashions in order to meet the different needs
and learning styles of staff and parents. Staff members will be sent to two major training
conferences that will be offered in Colorado, the trainings of the Colorado Association for the
Education of Young Children (CAEYC) Conferences in the spring and the fall, as well as other
training conferences offered by Region VIII etc.
Training funds are also used for staff to receive their GED, hone-up on Adult Basic Education Skills
using our new computer technology. These funds are also being used for the Teacher Assistants to
receive their CDA, or equivalent, and for teachers to receive their AA or AG in Early Childhood
Education. If funding permits opportunities may be made available for staff to pursue higher
