Our Belief Statements: We believe 1, in a high quality program which provides continued education and services to families and children before, during and after Head Start services, 4 2. in building a network of partnerships with the community, staff and families to establish mutual respect of the services we share among one another. 3. that educating children,families,and staff in basic health and nutrition practices will establish a firm foundation for positive and culturally relevant learning and well being, 4. that the power of families happens when the community comes together and shares the responsibility of helping the families and educators share their ideas and opinions to be better heard and respected, 5. that working together as a team, including staff and families, we can create a comprehensive program which will meet everyone's needs 6 in a supportive, culturally sensitive learning environment for children, parents and staff that is developmentally and age appropriate and promotes social competence, emotional physical and cognitive growth. 7. in promoting and respecting persona! and professional growth, and 8 in helping to build a community that respects and supports individual needs of each staff member, adult, and child in our program, thereby; ensuring children and families with diverse needs are valued members of society. 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. To improve the family's attitude toward future 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. 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. The program options being proposed are: (approved by the Parent Policy Council October 7, 2000). P.A. 22- full year- part day Head Start/Double Session - 487 children P.A. 22- full-day/full-year - 30 children 5 Fifteen children is the maximum number of children allowed in each of the classrooms, with the exception of the Island Grove classroom. This classroom will have an enrollment level of 20 children per session due to our recent expansion. The classroom has ample square footage to accommodate an additional five children, and an additional teacher assistant will be hired to maintain our adul1::child ratio of 1:8. The classrooms outside of Greeley and Frederick are primarily Head Start funded, with some children who are Colorado Preschool Program eligible and some tuition-paid by the school districts/BOCES at the School Districts', CPP rates for services. The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) is subcontracted by three scnool districts; Weld County School District RE-1 serving the communities of LaSalle, Gilcrest and Platteville, Weld County School District RE-3J, serving the areas of Hudson and Keenesburg and Weld County School District RE-5J in Milliken/Johnstown to deliver educational services for the Colorado Preschool Program. Our classrooms also include children with disabilities. The Family Educational Network of Weld County has a site located at Island Grove Village, a Section VIII housing complex. The intent of this classroom is to enhance community involvement. The complex houses adult classes for the parents of our children and the adults of the apartment community. The Family Educational Network of Weld County predominately operates the double-session option as our families have a variety of needs. With double-sessions we are able to offer our parents a choice of sessions for their children; therefore, allowing the parent flexibility to pursue educational/employment opportunities. Two full-day/full-year classrooms have been added to accommodate the needs of working parents. One of the classrooms is located in Greeley, and the other is operated in Frederick. The following is our proposed classroom breakdown: Greeley/Evans Sites Billie Martinez Elementary School, 341 14 Avenue, Greeley - 60 HS children 2 a.m. sessions - 31/2 hours x 4 days per week 2 p.m. sessions - 31/2 hours x 4 days per week Centennial Elementary School, 1400 37 Street, Evans - 60 HS children 2 a.m. sessions - 3 1/2 hours x 4 days per week 2 p.m. sessions - 3 1/2 hours x 4 days per week Dos Rios Elementary School, 2201 34 Street, Evans - 45 HS children 1 a.m. session - 3 1/2 hours x 4 days per week 1 p.m. session - 3 1 hours x 4 days per week 1 full-day/full-year session x 5 days per week (15 children) 6 East Memorial Elementary School, 614 E. 20 Street, Greeley - 60 HS children 2 a.m. sessions - 3 1/2 hours x 4 days per week 2 p.m. sessions - 3 1/2 hours x 4 days per week Island Grove Village, 119 14 Avenue, Greeley - 40 HS children 1 a.m. session - 3 Y hours x 4 days per week 1 p.m. session - 3 '/2 hours x 4 days per week Jefferson Elementary School, 1315 4 Avenue, Greeley - 60 HS children 2 a.m. sessions - 3 '/2 hours x 4 days per week 2 p.m. sessions - 3 Y hours x 4 days per week Madison Elementary School, 24 Avenue and 6 Street, Greeley - 60 HS children 2 a.m. sessions - 3 Y hours x 4 days per week 2 p.m. sessions - 3 Y hours x 4 days per week Sites Outside of the Greeley/Evans Catchment Area Milliken Elementary School, 200 Broad Street, Milliken - 51 HS children, 9 CPP children 2 a.m. sessions - 3 'h hours x 4 days per week 2 p.m. sessions - 3 Y hours X 4 days per week Hudson Elementary School, 300 Beech, Hudson - 40 HS children, 20 CPP children 2 a.m. sessions 3 'h hours x 4 days per week 2 p.m. sessions 3 Y hours x 4 days per week Gilcrest Elementary School, 1175 Birch, Gilcrest - 8 HS children, 22 CPP children 1 a.m. session 3 Y hours x 4 days per week 1 p.m. session 3 1/& hours x 4 days per week Platteville Elementary School, 1202 Main, Platteville - 7 HS children, 23 CPP children 1 a.m. session - 3 Y hours x 4 days per week 1 p.m. session - 3 '/2 hours x 4 days per week Frederick Center, 340 Maple, Frederick - 45 HS children 1 a.m. session 3 'h hours x 4 days per week 1 p.m. session 3 '/z hours x 4 days per week 1 full-day/full year session x 5 days per week. (15 children) 7 III. APPROACH A. Project Information 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 welt as offering support to the families of FENWC we have developed a system which provides support services to staff in the areas of training, personal development and needed direct services. Staff support services include, 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. 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-sery ces 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 which 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. Twenty families have enrolled in the GED program at our centers with one having completed her GED, and she has subsequently enrolled in courses at Aims Community College. The program also offers educational opportunities for staff and eleven of our staff are participating in educational offerings through the system. 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. 8 Attached is our five year Strategic Plan, which includes goals and activities our program hopes to pursue. The following are issues of concern the program we have been working on: Currently we are struggling with the Greeley/Evans School District #6, regarding services for children with disabilities. Per state statute school districts are to pay educational providers for educational services provided for children disabilities in order to include them in the student count. District #6, its not complying with state law, therefore; we are unable to enter into a contractual agreement with the District. We however, continue to provide services for children with disabilities using support staff from the District. We have increased our coordination with District 6 and the local Child Find agency and are attending weekly child find and identification meetings and coordinating developmental screenings in conjunction with the aforementioned. Within Weld County all Early Childhood programs are struggling with staff turnover, and hiring qualified staff to "man" their classrooms. We expect that as long as the unemployment rate remains low and the economy remains high that this trend will not change. In order to remedy the situation we intend to step-up our professional development efforts so that we can promote staff internally to higher level positions. B. Statistical Information 1 - Funded enrollment: 517 2 - Number of children with disabilities to be enrolled: 52 (minimum) 3 - Number of children for who fees will be charged: 0 4 - Number of children above the poverty level whose children will be enrolled:52 (maximum) 5 - Number of hours per week of operation: 40 hours 6-Number of weeks per year of program operation: 32 weeks double session,full-day/full year 49 (weeks) 7 - Number of teachers: 21 8 - Number of paid teacher aides: 22 9 - Number of classes: 40 C. Participant Individualized Program 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 Family Needs Assessment is done with each family, by a trained Service Coordinator. The Family Needs Assessment 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/parent 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 9 their children through their educational careers. Follow-up is done on a pre-determined basis by the Service Coordinator 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 are put through a screening process, before they are classroom enrolled, which includes; the Denver-II and/or ASQ, vision, hearing, height and weight, hematocrit and nutrition. If the screening pinpoints any possible deficiency in a ch ld'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 Individualized Education Plan (IAP) is written for the child and if appropriate the family. If a child enters the program with a professional diagnosis the process is by-passed and an IAP is written 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 is in the process of increasing coordination with the School Districts Special Education Programs to receive maximal support for the teaching staff and the children. Through increased coordinated services a continuum of services for children with disabilities will be realized. IV. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION 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 Eaton, Ault, Pierce, Nunn and Galeton to the north; 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-2, RE-9, and RE-4. 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 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. 10 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. 11 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 degrees. All staff have participated in staff development activities. This past fiscal year a total of 22 staff members participated in advanced educational opportunities and took courses at one of the local community colleges or the University of Northern Colorado and eleven of our staff are participating in educational offerings through our WAN with Employment Services Learning Lab. We have been working closely with Aims Community College on our Professional Development Goals. As a result, in June of this year Aims submitted a grant to the Department of Health & Human Services in coordination with our agency to provide training to Head Start staff to work with the Hispanic population. This grant was one of 7 grants funded in the Nation, in September or 2001. One of our staff development goals for this year as stated on our Strategic Plan is to work on Team Building and Conflict Resolution. We will be utilizing some of these funds for activities related to these themes. 12 Belief Statement 41 - Continued Education and Services BELIEF STATEMENT: We believe in a high quality program which provides continued education and services to families and children before and after Head Start services. OUTCOME/OR 1ECTTVE: 50%of parents(per program year) who want to obtain their GED or High School Dinloma will receive one by the year 2001. 50%of the graduates will move on to further their education.
