The Family Educational Network of Weld County provides a comprehensive early childhood
education program that focuses on early childhood development. The program provides support
to migrant and seasonal farm worker families in Northern Colorado,supported by the Migrant Head
Start framework. FENWC works with various agencies to identify the needs of migrant and
seasonal farm worker families and determines eligibility for Migrant and Seasonal Farm Worker
Head Start Children. We individualize programs so that they are responsive to the needs of each
family. The following services are available to eligible migrant children and families through
FENWC.
• Education Services. Teaching staff writes and uses Individual Development Plans (IDP's),
for each child. This document is a working document to stimulate social, emotional, motor
and intellectual learning experiences; self-reliance, self-esteem and self-confidence are
encouraged, thus, they establish the principles for future educational success.
• Health Services. Our Health Component works in collaboration with the Colorado
Department of Health, local health clinics and private providers to furnish a broad range of
medical, dental and mental health activities. We identify children with disabilities, and
Migrant Health and local migrant clinics provide services for them. We provide health and
nutrition education to the parents to promote sound physical and mental child development.
• Family Services/Parent Involvement. Family Services works directly with various social
service agencies to obtain needed assistance for families and to provide social services,
educational and employment training to parents. This support enables families to improve
the quality and condition of their lives.
FENWC considers parents an integral part of the total staff. Parent participation is
encouraged in the decision-making process of their children's education and the overall
operation of the program. We support parents in their role and jointly develop goals for
their children.
Our mission is to provide children and families with a high quality, comprehensive program which,
promotes self-esteem, fosters social and educational competence, develops independence, and
enables children and families to be lifetime learners, and responsible, valued members of their
community.
4
Our Vision is that, FENWC will continue to be a high quality program where the staff is respected,
educated and supported as strong leaders in the field of education. We will foster unity within the
community and integration within the school districts. Our Program will work closely with governing
bodies to support families, children, and staff to meet their diverse needs.
The Family Educational Network of Weld County is committed to providing migrant and seasonal
farm worker children and families with a developmentally appropriate,comprehensive program that
promotes self-esteem, fosters social-competence, develops independence, and enables children
and families to experience future successes.
OBJECTIVE AND NEED FOR ASSISTANCE
The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) is committed to providing low-income
children and families with a developmentally appropriate comprehensive program to promote self-
esteem, social competence and help children reach educational success. For children to develop
high self-esteem and be successful in school it is important that our program work with the parents
so that they understand the important role they have as their children's primary educators. The
Family Educational Network will work with parents so they may gain the confidence to work with
their children at home, feel comfortable in a school setting to support their children, enable them
to further their own educational and skill levels, assist them in finding employment, and provide or
refer out any support services needed. Therefore, it may be stated that the primary objectives of
the Family Educational Network are to provide the following services to Head Start children to
foster a higher degree of social competence: 1) Parent Policy Council, 2) Health Services, 3)
Nutritional Services, 4) Social Services, and 5) Parent Related Services.
The Family Educational Network also encourages active parent involvement in the following
manners: 1) Parent Policy Council, 2) in the classroom as paid volunteers, or observers, 3)
volunteers in the component areas,4)working with children at home, and 5)taking the lead as the
primary educator of the child.
COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT- SUMMARY
OVERVIEW OF COLORADO CROPS AND ACTIVITY
(Excerpts from:Colorado Agricultural statistics,Colorado Department of Agriculture,and the 2001 FENWC Community Assessment)
Approximate Land Area: 66.4 Million Acres
Approximate Cropland area: 10.9 Million Acres
Approximate Irrigated Area: 3.2 Million Acres
Number of Farms and Ranches (1995): 25,000
Land in Farms and Ranches (1995): 32.7 Million Acres
Average Size of Farm and Ranch (1995): 1,308 Acres
Colorado Farm Income
The gross farm income for Colorado's 25,300 farm in operation during 1994 totaled $4.58 billion,
down 4 percent from $4.78 billion generated from the 25,500 farms in operation during 1993.
Livestock and livestock products continued to be the leading contributors to Colorado's cash
receipts with a total value of $2.78 billion in 1994. Receipts from cattle and calves accounted for
55.4 percent of the total cash receipts from all commodities. Receipts from crops totaled $1.25
billion in 1994, representing 31.0 percent of the total. Wheat was the state's second leading
5
contributors to cash receipts,followed by corn. Milk remained the fourth leading contributor to cash
receipts. Hay was fifth, potatoes ranked sixth, hogs were seventh, sheep and lambs were eighth,
onions were ninth and dry beans were tenth. Cash receipts from the top ten commodities
accounted for 90 percent of the total cash receipts from all commodities in 1994.
NORTH CENTRAL COLORADO
North Central Colorado consists of the following counties, Weld, Adams, Boulder, and Larimer.
This area is very rich agriculturally and the following crops only represent a portion of the produce
from this area: sugar beets, onions, potatoes, lettuce, spinach, corn, sweet grain, silage, and
carrots.
The Colorado Department of Education, Migrant Education Program identified 459 farm worker
children, between the ages 0-18, (32% in category 2). The Colorado Department of Health, Farm
Worker Health Program provided services to 394 farm worker children , ages 0-13 years. There
continues to be an increase of solo-males entering the area for work, and fewer families migrating
into the area. The itinerant workers begin arriving late April and leave early October.
Due to the low unemployment rate and strong economy the farm work labor force has seen a
drastic decrease. As a result, local growers are recruiting farm work labor from temporary
employment agencies.
The needs for farm worker families in this area are:
1) Housing; only one labor camp is scheduled to serve families,the other labor camps
will serve solo-males.
2) Medical services are limited. The areas of greatest concern are pre and peri-natal
care, immunizations of children, long term intervention and pesticide awareness.
3) Wages are low, and working conditions generally are poor.
