IV. Program Narrative
The Weld County Migrant Head Start funded by ACYF Migrant Programs
Branch, is requesting expansion funds to provide services to children of
Migrant Farmworker Families through two center based Summer Programs
located in Fort Morgan and in the Arkansas Valley. There are no Migrant
Headstart Services available in these areas now.
A. Need for Assistance
For the remainder of this decade and well into the next, it is
anticipated that rural agricultural communities in twenty-three of
Colorado's sixty-three counties will continue to experience an influx of
migratory agricultural workers. Approximately five to six thousand
(5,000 - 6,000) interstate migrants come to Colorado from Texas , New
Mexico, Arizona, California, and other areas of the Southwest. A small
number come from Missouri , Washington, and Iowa. These families move
into Colorado in order to prepare the soil , plant, irrigate, weed, thin,
harvest, grade, sort, and package Colorado's produce. Others work in
packing sheds and potato cellars.
Approximately ninety-five percent (95%) of migrant farmworkers in
Colorado are Hispanic. Of these, nearly sixty percent (60%) are
mono-lingual (Spanish only) . Of the remaining five percent (5%) , four
percent (4%) are Anglos and one percent (1%) are Native Americans and
Blacks. -
Migrant farmworkers are among the very poorest of the working poor in
America today. Nationally, the average income for individual
farmworkers is estimated at $27 per day for an average of 96 working
days, or $2,592 per year. In Colorado, the average annual income for a
family of six is currently estimated to be between $4,200 and $5,500.
Aggravating the farmworkers very low income is the factor of inflation
which has a devastating affect on the ability to obtain even the bare
essentials of life. The lifestyle of migrant farmworkers in Colorado is
characterized by underemployment, low wages, job insecurity, substandard
(although expensive) housing, inadequate nutrition, cultural isolation
and community discrimination.
Children of migrant farmworkers represent the principal "high risk"
population in Colorado. Not only do children of migrant farmworkers
face typical diseases and health problems associated with childhood,
but also they confront numerous health problems and risks associated
with their migratory lifestyle and the environmental hazards faced by an
agricultural worker--the third most hazardous occupation in the United
States.
Infants and preschool age children are regularly at field worksites.
Those not in the field are often cared for in conditions that are far
below the accepted standards of care for children. Both sets of
conditions may be considered by legal definition to constitute child
neglect.
890024
-14-
The counties proposed to receive services represent two of the predominant
agricultural areas in the state of Colorado. The influx of migrant
families into these counties is greater than anywhere else in the state.
The families who will receive services must be migrant farmworkers, as
defined by the Administration for Children Youth and Families (ACYF)
Migrant Head Start; meet the family income guidelines; and be presently
working in the fields. Families meeting the criteria are some of the
most vulnerable at risk populations. Although farmworkers are of major
economic importance to many of Colorado's rural communities, they are
virtually invisible to local decision makers because they have no voting
power, do not own property, and are culturally and linguistically
different from the local power bases. They are not anyone's natural
constituency. Most communities are neither aware of, nor willing to
respond to , the needs of Colorado's migrant agricultural labor force.
The Weld County Migrant Head Start is proposing to increase the number
of children enrolled in the following parts of the state:
Arkansas Valley - will serve Prowers and Baca Counties. The main
crops in this area are onions, potatoes, cantaloupe, and
watermelon. Families arrive in the area in June, and stay until
late August or early September. Migrant families prepare the soil ,
plant, irrigate, weed, thin, grade, sort, and package the produce.
The projected enrollment for the Arkansas Valley area is fifty (50)
children.
Fort Morgan - will serve Morgan and parts of Washington and Logan
Counties. The main crop in this area is sugar beets, other crops
are lettuce, spinach, broccoli , cabbage, peas, potatoes, and
cauliflower. Migrant farmworkers come into the area during the
latest part of June and leave the first part of September.
Families work preparing the soil , planting, irrigating, weeding,
thinning, harvesting, grading, sorting, and packaging the produce.
The number of children expected to be enrolled in the Fort Morgan
area is fifty (50) .
The number of preschool migrant children in the State of Colorado has
been determined through data collected from the following sources:
Colorado State Migrant Health, State Department of Labor and Employment,
State Department of Education, Title I Migrant Education, Weld Board of
Cooperative Educational Services (B0CES) , and historical data compiled
through the Migrant Day Care/Head Start program operated by Weld County
in 1988. The Colorado Migrant and Rural Coalition did participate in a
needs assessment process also. The coalition is formed by statewide
agencies, local community organizations, and advocates of migrant
farmworkers. The coalition meets throughout the year to plan delivery
of services, to assess resources available, and to identify other
migrant worker needs.

(B) Results or Benefits Expected
The Weld County Migrant Head Start will provide a comprehensive center
based day care/Head Start program which will address critical
developmental , educational , and health services to 0 to 4 year old
migrant children and their families.
Education
The program will implement the Bilingual Multicultural Curriculum
"Nuevas Fronteras de Aprendizaje" for children 3 and 4 years old. The
philosophy of language Development behind the curriculum stresses
learning concepts in the child's dominant language and familiarizes the
child with a second language. The program's goals are designed to
develop both languages through small group and large group activities.
With regard to child development, the children experience a full and
rich program which promotes their development in psychomotor,
socio-emotional , and conceptual areas.
The curriculum to be implemented with the 1 to 3 year old children will
be adapted from the portage guide to Early Education. In this guide,
five basic areas of development can be taught. These are socialization,
language, cognitive, self-help, and motor skills. The progress of these
skills are recorded on a check list based on the sequence of normal
child development. The steps in implementing the portage guide are as
follows:
(1) Have a defined goal that is specific and requires a response from
the child.
(2) Select a specific objective to be taught (for example, buttoning).
(3) Select materials.
(4) Have a routine time and place.
(5) Use short and simple explanations and be sure to model the correct
response.
(6) Reward frequently at the beginning and then gradually fade the
rewards.
(7) Provide many opportunities for the child to use and practice their
new skills.
The curriculum to be implemented with the 0 to 1 year old children will
be adapted from "Teach Your Baby." In this guide there are five areas
of sensory experiences. These are spatial relationships, self
awareness, cause and effect, imitation, and speech. The progress of
these skills are recorded on a check list based on the sequence of
development.

Health
The Weld County Migrant Head Start will implement a comprehensive health
program which will address the unique needs of migrant families. The
health program will be integrated into the educational component to
promote healthful life styles and health practices as essential elements
of each child's growth and development. The educational program will be
linked in a systematic way to a broad variety of health care providers
in each community, accessing services to migrant families.

Each child for whom a medical problem is identified in a
screening will receive follow-up services, including parent
contact to:
(1) assure compliance with prescribed regimen and medications
(2) assure that necessary return visits are appropriately
scheduled and adhered to
(3) assure that parents are adequately informed of their
child's diagnosis and ongoing needs for treatment
2. Dental services
Nationally, dental disease has been identified as the number one
chronic health problem in children. Dental diseases frequently
cause stomach aches, ear aches, and other painful conditions in
children that are not always identified as dental in origin.
Dental disease, untreated, will lead to serious dental diseases and
eventually to loss of teeth. It is additionally significant that
dental diseases are, for the most part, preventable.
Specific dental services will include the following:
(a) Identification of needs
Children enrolled in the migrant summer program will receive
dental screening. Caries, periodontal disease, malocclusion,
and adverse oral habits will be identified.
•
-19- 890024
this screening information, individual specific dental plans
will be developed.
(b) Treatment of identified needs
All children needing emergency dental treatment will be
referred for immediate care. Other children needing care will
be prioritized and referred for treatment.
(c) Prevention
All children of appropriate age will receive classroom dental
health education and individual instruction, dental prophylaxis
(cleaning) , and topical fluoride application at the school .
Fluoride combines with the teeth, making them stronger and
less susceptible to dental decay.
Diet counseling, as it relates to dental health, will be
provided in coordination with the migrant nutritionist.
. 3. Nutrition services
Over the past several years, medical literature has suggested that
migrant children have significantly more nutritional problems and
deficiencies than non-migrant children. Data from the 1986 Colorado
Migrant Schools report seems to be consistent with this statement.
Symptoms of a nutrition deficiency, such as anemia, are fatigue,
frequent illness, poor appetite and short attention span.
Consequence of prolonged anemia may result in decreased growth and
development and increased susceptibility to infection.
Other nutrition problems such as growth failure, overweight, and
failure to thrive have equally devastating results in terms of the
child's learning potential .
The primary focus of the migrant nutrition program is to provide
direct counseling to children and families where nutritional
deficiencies are found. As part of the nutrition management of these
problems, it is important to assess dietary intake, to determine
parent child motivation for changing eating behavior and to provide
individual dietary counseling and follow-up.
Other services that will be provided in the school setting include:
inservice training to teaching and food service staff, assistance
for teachers in using nutrition classroom curriculum plans, and
nutrition education at parent/family nights and during home visits.
4. Health education services
In 1979, the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
released the Surgeon General 's Report on Health Promotion and
Disease Prevention, "Healthy People." The central theme of the
report is that the health of this nation's citizens can be
significantly improved through actions that individuals can take
-20- 890024
themselves. Not only do these personal decisions influence the
length of people's lives and their capacity to enjoy it, but also,
they have a major impact on the long term overall cost of health
care services.
In addition to the obvious potential for a positive impact on the
health status of a population as a direct outgrowth of education and
preventive efforts directed toward dental and nutrition issues as
described above, there are a number of other educational health
promotion topics which are of importance to this special population.
The Weld County Migrant Head Start will direct major health
education efforts towards migrant families. Systematic
dissemination of information and educational materials will take
place during home visits and parent/family nights.
5. Handicap/Special Needs
The Weld County Migrant Head Start Program will actively recruit for
and make available no less than 10 percent of its total number of
funded slots to handicapped children and will provide services to
them in a main stream setting.
a. Instructional Services
The program will provide migrant handicapped children with
special opportunities to improve their communication skills;
will prepare handicapped children to function successfully, by
providing them with preschool experiences that are geared to
their psychological and physiological characteristics; will
provide specially designed activities which will increase
handicapped children social growth, positive self-concept, and
group interactions skills; will implement programs utilizing
every available and appropriate federal , state, and local
resources through coordinated funding that will improve mutual
understanding and appreciation of differences among children.
b. Supportive Services
The Weld County Migrant Head Start will make every effort to
establish an intra-state and inter-state communication program
for exchange of student records, methods, concepts and materials
to assure that sequence and continuity will be an inherent part
of migrant handicapped children's total educational program.
Communication will be developed and established among the Head
Start programs, the community and its agencies, and the target
groups to ensure coordination of all available resources for the
benefit of migrant handicapped children.
890024
-21-
Lines of communication will be established between Head Start
staff and migrant families. The communication will lead to
parental reinforcement of the handicapped effort.
Pre-service and in-service workshops will be conducted to
increase staff's self-awareness of their personal biases and
possible prejudices regarding handicapped persons, and to
upgrade their skills for teaching migrant handicapped children.
Early and periodic screening diagnosis and treatment (EPSDT)
funds for medical services will be used whenever possible to
cover medical , dental , and handicapped services.
Social Services
The Weld County Migrant Head Start Program has established and maintains
an outreach and recruitment process which systematically ensures
enrollment of eligible children. Recruitment activities include
networking with community agencies, advertisements in newspaper and
radio stations in both English and Spanish, visiting migrant labor camps
and placing posters in migrant health centers, food stamp offices , Job
Service offices, etc.
A family needs assessment is conducted for every family participating in
the program. The needs assessment identify the interests, desires, -
goals, needs, and strengths of the family.
The Family Services component provides direct services and advocates for
migrant Head Start families by networking with local social service
agencies, community organizations, volunteer organizations, etc.
However, the main goal is to determine how Head Start can help the
families to attain self-sufficiency. Close relationship has been
established with local employment and training agencies; such as JTPA
and Rocky Mountain SER. Both agencies target low income families for
employment and training efforts. Rocky Mountain SER receives federal
funds to provide direct services to migrant farmworkers families; such
as training, job search, and relocation assistance, etc.
Direct Services by Head Start to migrant families include: free child
care, in order for family members to attend GED glasses and workshops;
transportation to Head Start, in order for parents to volunteer in the
classroom, attend meetings, etc. ; clothing for Head Start family
members; emergency loans; fee for classes; and food vouchers. These and
other direct services are provided in part or all by fundraising efforts
and donations from local businesses. Families are also referred to
other agencies in an effort to meet their needs.
Parent Involvement
The importance of parent involvement in Head Start is unquestionable.
For the past twenty years, the success of Head Start as a comprehensive
early childhood program has been in great part due to the extensive
parent involvement effort.
Weld County Migrant Head Start is totally committed to the principle
that parents with adequate support can provide the home environment that
-22- 890024
will protect and stimulate children to be successful at whatever they
try. This can be achieved by providing opportunities and encouragement
to parents to participate in the Head Start experience.
Parent participation includes:
o Parents as decision makers
o Parents as paid staff, volunteer and observers in the classroom
o Parents working at home with their own children in cooperation with
Head Start staff to support the child's experiences
o Parents participating in the development of a Parent Education Plan
The plan to involve parents in center activities are as include:
Open House/Family Nights - Two open house/family nights will be
conducted in each of the Head Start Centers during the summer program.
Parents will have the opportunity to visit their children's center,
visit with their teacher, visit their children's classroom, and discuss
any concerns with the staff. The parents will have the opportunity to
meet and socialize with other families. A meal will be served for the
entire family and entertainment provided for children and adults.
Parent Policy Council - Migrant parents will be aggressively recruited to
participate in the Parent Policy Council . This will be done by
explaining the role of the council in the operation of the program
during the enrollment process. Parents who express an interest will be
invited to a meeting where a more in-depth presentation will be made and
training will be initiated. Training will be provided in English and
Spanish.
Parents Visiting the Classroom (open door policy) - Parents will be
able to visit the classroom any time they wish. Parents are especially
encouraged to visit the center when they are not working because there
is no work available, or because the weather does not permit them to
work. Visiting the center offers the parents the opportunity to become
better acquainted with their children's teacher, and teachers can learn
much about the child from the parents.
Parent Education - Agencies such as Aims Community College, Plan de
Salud del Valle Health Center, Sunrise Clinic, and Migrant Health
Department offer adult classes for families. Utilizing vans, all the
labor camps are visited on different week nights. Classes are offered
in nutrition, child development, birth control , first aide, GED classes,
English classes and any topic that the families would be interested in.
The Weld County Migrant Head Start coordinates efforts by disseminating
information, participating as presentors, and encouraging parents to
attend by offering free child care when needed.

(C) Approach
In 1988, there were six (6) Head Start Day Care centers in the state
providing services to four hundred children (400). Over 300 migrant
children between the ages of 0 to 4 had no day care services available
while their families were in Colorado working.
The Weld County Migrant Head Start Program is requesting funds to
provide services for 100 children - 40 infants and 60 toddlers. The
Title I Migrant Education Program operated through the Board at Community
Educational Services (BOCES) in local communities, has agreed to pick-up
the cost of providing services to all four year olds. Weld County
Migrant Head Start expect to serve a total of approximately 140 children,
or 70 children per center BOCES will provide classroom, office space and
transport
ation without charge to the Head Start Program. Two new centers will be
located in •the second and third largest agricultural areas in the state
--Fort Morgan and Arkansas Valley.
New Centers:
The Colorado Department of Education, Title I Migrant Education operates
summer programs for children ages 5 to 14 years old in both Fort Morgan
and the Arkansas Valley. Both programs are operated under the
administration of the local Boards of Cooperative Educational Services
(BOCES) . The Weld County Migrant Head Start, Fort Morgan BOCES, and the
Southeastern BOCES met early in December 1988, to discuss the submission
of this grant application.
Both BOCES programs are already serving the older children of migrant
families in their respective areas. On many occasions older migrant
children are unable to participate in the summer migrant school because
they have to stay home to take care of the younger children. This fact
makes these two programs natural providers of Head Start/Day Care
services. Fort Morgan BOCES, and Arkansas Valley BOCES in Lamar has
agreed to become delegate agencies for the Weld County Migrant Head
Start Program and provide services to migrant children ages 0 to 4.
Both agencies will comply with all federal , state, and local regulations
applying to Migrant Head Start Programs. Weld County Migrant Head Start
will provide training and technical assistance to both agencies.
Intensive training will take place before the initiation of operations.
Training will include Head Start Performance Standards, Head Start
Administrative Manual , fiscal control , and handicap services to migrant
children. Through this cooperative effort the cost to provide services
will be dramatically reduced. Both agencies will provide transportation,
classroom space, and staff already in place (nurses , food service,
support staff) without additional cost to Migrant Head Start. Both
890024
-24-
agencies are familiar with the local communities and their resources;
and have established the linkages necessary to provide a comprehensive
Head Start/Day Care program.
The Weld County Migrant Head Start is proposing to provide services to
migrant children through the implementation of the Standard Model-Full
Day option. This option will best serve the needs of the migrant
families in the area. The families move constantly within the county
seeking work. On many occasions work is as far as 30 to 50 miles from
their labor camp or house. The distance and the work completion
deadline keeps the families away from home from very early in the
morning until late afternoon.
