To Jarkip Johnson. Chairman Date September 26, 1985
Board of County Commissioners
COLORADO From Walter J. Soeckman. Executive Director, Human Resources
Subject: 1986 Head Start Grant & Modification to 1984 Head Star Grant
Enclosed for Board approval are two applications for grant action for.
the Head Start Program.
The first application is Weld County's formal request for funding for
the 1986 Head Start year. During the 1986 school year, Head Start will
serve 300 children in four Head Start centers. The centers are located
in Greeley, Pierce, Johnstown, and Firestone. Some of the services
provided are education, family services, health and nutrition and
special needs. The attached grant application incorporates both the
Basic and Handicap grants for 1986.
The 1986 grant period will be from January 1, 1986, through December 31,
1986. The total federal monies provided to run the program are
$460,274. Matching in-kind in the amount of $92,500 will be documented
by Head Start. The Child Care Food Program will provide $39,000 in
revenue to the program. The total proposed funding is $591,329.
The second application is the formal incorporation of carry over dollars
from the 1984 Head Start grant into the 1985 Head Start grant. Head
Start is carrying over $12,075 in federal monies from the 1984 grant
year into the 1985 year. The monies will be used to pay for the play-
ground equipment that was recently installed at the Greeley center.
If you have any questions regarding the two Head Start grant applica-
tions, please contact me.

MODIFICATION NARRATIVE
The Weld County Division of Human Resources' Head Start Program is re-
questing to carry-over $12,075.00 of PA 22 Basic Head Start FY 1984
monies to pay for the purchase of playground equipment and groundwork
preparation expenditures that have been incurred.
The Regional Office was contacted prior to the end of FY 1984 and in-
formed that the monies for the equipment and groundwork were being
transferred to the Weld County General Fund. The Weld County Purchasing
Department would then perform the necessary procedures to initiate the
purchasing process and follow through the payment to vendors.
A verbal acknowledgement that this procedure was acceptable was received
from the Regional Office. Because of weather conditions at the end of
1984, the vendors were unable to do any groundwork preparation or
assembly of the new equipment. This was accomplished in the current year.
The agency's auditors feel it is best, and the agency concurs, that a
request to carryover the funds is in order since the equipment was not on
site until 1985.

ADMINISTRATION
The Weld County Head Start Program operated split sessions in all of its
centers (Greeley, Pierce, Johnstown, and Frederick) during the school
year 1984-1985. The split sessions were incorporated into the program
as an answer to the increase of children qualifying for services.
Throughout the 1984-1985 school year, the Parent Policy Council , Child
Find Specialist from School District VI , Special Needs Technician, and
Head Start teaching staff monitored the adjustment and development of
the children attending split sessions. At the end of the school year,
the consensus was that the children were having difficulties adjusting
to the program.
Based upon the evaluation of the children going into kindergarten and
the final recommendations from the Parent Policy Council , teaching
staff, and community agencies, the decision was made to convert back to
double sessions for the 1985-1986 school year in all Weld County Head
Start Centers.
The Weld County Head Start Program will implement the double session
option in all centers: Greeley, Johnstown, Pierce, and Frederick.
There will be morning and afternoon sessions that are 34 hours in length,
and will be offered four days per week (Monday through Thursday'). All
Fridays will be utilized for staff in-services, home visits, staff
meetings , etc. The program will operate no less than 34 weeks per year
(not counting Christmas or spring vacations).
Classroom/Enrollment Levels Per Center:
Number of Number of Number of children Total
Center Classrooms Sessions per Session Children
Greeley 7 14 15 210
Johnstown 1 2 15 r 30
Pierce 1 2 15 30
Frederick 1 2 15 30
Total Tb -2b fib 300
The Weld County Head Start Program was awarded expansion grant monies in
order to increase services for 25 more children. The program will
provide services to a total of 300 children during the 1985-1986 school
year.
First priority for enrollment will be given to children from families at
or below the poverty income guidelines. Under no circumstances will
more than 10% of the total enrollment load be filled with over income
children. This will be done only if there are slots available after all
low income children have been enrolled. No less than 10% handicapped
children will be recruited and provided services in a mainstream
setting. No fees will be charged to children enrolled in the program.
Staffing
The program will provide one (1) adult to every five (5) children in the
classroom. This ratio will be maintained in all centers. One of the
teacher aides in each classroom will be provided without cost to Head
Start by the Welfare Diversion Program operated by the Weld County
Employment Opportunities Delivery System.
An additional worker will be hired for the Family Services and Health
Component. The increase of staff is vital due to the increase in the
number of families receiving services. The program had a funded
enrollment level of 225 children in 1984, and will increase the
enrollment level to 300 children in 1985. The hiring of an extra aide
in each of the above mentioned components will ensure quality services
are being provided to the Head Start families.
Health:
The Sunrise Community Health Center will continue to provide physical
examinations to children enrolled in the Head Start centers. The
physicals will include physical examination, urinalysis, and hematocrit.
The cost will be $20.00 per child. In addition, the Health Center will
provide all medical treatment, lab work, x-rays , etc, as is deemed
necessary for any referred Head Start child. Prescriptions and
immunizations will be an additional cost for the program.
Dental :
The Sunrise Community Health Center will continue to provide dental
examinations , including cleaning, to all Head Start children at a cost
of $25.00 per child. The $25.00 will cover all needed dental treatment
identified during the examination, regardless of the amount of work
performed.
Special Needs:
The University of Northern Colorado's Speech Clinic will continue to
provide testing and speech therapy services to Head Start children
enrolled in the Greeley, Pierce and Johnstown centers. A private speech
therapist will work with the children from the tri-town area.
Weld Mental Health will continue to work with Head Start children who
are experiencing emotional or stressful situations. Parents will also
be involved in this process.
Accomplishments for 1984-1985:
The renovation of the building donated by Aims Community College was
completed. The building is now being utilized for classroom space, a
child care room and a meeting room.
The program was able to lease 3 lots from the town of Firestone for 25
years at a cost of $1.00 per year. The lots are the first step in the
establishment of a permanent Head Start center in southern Weld County.
The Weld County Head Start Program was capable of increasing the
enrollment level from 225 to 275 children by January, 1985. The
increase of 50 children was accomplished without an increase in the
amount of money received through the Basic Grant PA22.
After the donated building was located on the Greeley Head Start
Program's property, it became necessary to move the playground. A newly
constructed playground has been erected.
The program's utilization of the local Welfare Diversion Program's
participants has been highly successful . Head Start has been able to
provide excellent staff to child ratios at lowered costs and the Welfare
Diversion participants are able to develop job skills and a track record
of acceptable work behavior which will lead to their future employment
in the private sector.

EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT
1. Goal #1
To provide children with a learning environment and varied experi-
ences which will help them develop socially, intellectually,
physically and emotionally in a manner appropriate to their age and
stage of development toward the overall goal of social competence.
Objectives (to meet goal )
a. The new design of attendance in the Head Start Program
(children attend 3z hrs per day, 4 days per week) will still
ensure quality education for the children and their families.
The classroom is arranged into clearly defined learning activ-
ities which include the following learning centers: block
area, book area science area, creative art area , manipulative
area, music area, and water play area.
Each classroom provides a daily program of activities to meet
the assessed needs of the classroom. These activities are
planned weekly according to different themes and are documented
on a lesson plan sheet which includes greeting line,
large group language/cognitive activities, small group
activities in the child's dominant language, art,'music, fine
and gross motor, creative dramatics , story time, discovery
center, math/science, health/nutrition, self help and special
events, films, visitors and field trips. The lesson plans are
provided to the Education Coordinator on a weekly basis from
September to May.
At the present time, Head Start is utilizing two curriculums.
The first is the Nuevas Fronteras de Aprendizaje bilingual
curriculum. The goals of this curriculum are to provide an
atmosphere of cultural democracy (which involves preserving and
respecting differences between peoples ' backgrounds) , to
provide learning environments and activities appropriate to the
child's learning preferences and to provide language training
experiences and activities that will promote development of the
dominant language and learning of a second language. The
second curriculum being, utilized is a combination of the
Triangle Series, the Portage Guide and the Peech Curriculum.
This combination specifically emphasizes language skills, self
help skills , gross motor skills , social/emotional skills,
cognitive skills , and visual motor skills.
b. Each teacher provides adequate material , equipment, and time
for children to use small and large muscles to increase
physical skills. These materials include puzzles, peg and
pegboards, hammers and nails, stringing beads , blocks , water,
sand and clay, scissors, exercise activities, dance, rhythm
movement, and outdoor activities which include slides , swings ,
tricycles, jungle gyms, running, jumping, hopping and playing
with a ball .
r^1
c. Each teacher provides an environment in which children will
develop socially by encouraging them to interact with others
and get along, and help them develop mutual respect for
property, rights and feelings of the group.
All of the above objectives are monitored by the Education
Coordinator on an on-going basis. Formal classroom observations,
called Global Observations, are done twice a year (November and
March). The Education Coordinator is present in the classroom to
observe the teacher, the classroom set up, and interaction with
children by the teacher and teacher aide, specifically in the areas
of safety, health, learning environment, cognitive, physical ,
social , language, creative, self concept, guidance and discipline.
If a teacher is observed to be weak in any of these areas , an
individual training plan is set up by the teacher and the Education
Coordinator to strengthen the teacher in his/her weak areas. This
is done in October of every school year. This can be achieved
through outside classes , outside reading and/or utilizing other
staff members who may be strong in that area.
Informal and formal self assessments are completed by each staff
member in order to find out what they feel their weak area or areas
may be. The self assessments are taken into consideration when
planning each staff member's individual training plan.
Teacher aides are evaluated twice a year (November and April ) by
the teacher. Teachers are also evaluated twice a year (November
and April ) for their overall performance in the Head Start Program.
2. Goal #2
To integrate the educational aspects of the various Head Start
Components into the daily program of activities.
Objectives (to meet goal )
a. Teachers are required to teach health lessons to the children
on an on-going basis. Specifically, at least one health lesson
will be included in the weekly lesson plan. Examples of health
lessons are: dental health, snacks and nutrition, body parts
and self help skills.
b. Brushing of teeth by children is done on a daily basis. This
is monitored by individual teachers and reinforced by the
Health Coordinator.
c. Individual Education Plans (IEP) are required to be written on
all Special Needs children by their respective classroom
teacher. The IEP's will be submitted to and reviewed by the
Education Coordinator and Special Needs Technician. The IEP's
are to be submitted on November 12, 1985; January 16, 1986; and
March 29, 1986.
d. Nutrition activities are incorporated into the lesson plans
once a week by classroom teachers under the direction of the
Health Coordinator.
e. The Education Coordinator will be providing a language
stimulation group on Tuesdays and Thursdays, October 1, 1985.
Each of the seven (7) teachers in the Greeley Head Start center
will refer one (1) child per session , who may be low in
language skills , to be a part of this group. This will total
to seven (7) children per language stimulation group. This
will be monitored on an on-going basis by the Education
Coordinator and evaluated in December and April by classroom
teachers and the Education Coordinator.
It should be noted that Head Start will begin in the fall of
1985 with seven (7) classrooms. Should the need develop to add
an additional classroom, there is the space available to open
an eighth classroom.
f. A quit/nap period may be included in the schedule.
3. Goal #3
To involve parents in educational activities of the program in
order to enhance their role as the principal influence on their
child' s education and development.
Objectives (to meet goal )
a. Parents receive weekly "Parent Letters" that are written by the
teachers in order to let parents know what types of activities
will be taking place in their child's classroom the following
week. These letters include the weekly theme, day by day
activities related to this theme, field trips, and activities
parents can do at home to reinforce what is being taught in
school .
b. A Parent Booklet of activities will be provided to each parent
in the program by the Education Coordinator. Specifically three
(3) activities per week in relation to the weekly unit mill be
sent home with each child. Included in these activities will
be the purpose, materials needed and the procedure to
accomplish the activity. The Education Coordinator and the
Family Services Coordinator will evaluate the success of the
Parent Booklets by monitoring the child's progress in school
and by the documentation on the parent' s monthly Home In-kind
Report of time spent on these activities.
c. Each classroom teacher will be required to have three (3)
parent meetings. The first meeting will be the center's open
house held the beginning of October. This will be followed by
a pre-planned parent meeting in early December to discuss
Christmas activities. In April , a meeting will be held to
discuss end of the year school activities.
d. Teacher and teacher aides will be required to have at least two
(2) home visits per family per year. Included in these home
visits will be an introduction to the Head Start Program,
parent responsibilities , transportation, policies and
procedures, fund raising information, child' s progress in
school , information on Parent Booklet and answering any
questions parents may have. These home visits will be
conducted in October, November, April and May. The home visit
reports are to be submitted to the Family Services Coordinator
by November 19, 1985, and May 16, 1986.

5. Goal #5
To identify and reinforce experiences which occur in the home so
that parents can utilize then as educational activities for their
children.
Objectives (to meet goals)
a. The teaching staff, in coordination with the Education
Coordinator, will provide activities for family members to
visit the center and to share skills and experiences with the
children.
b. The teaching staff, in coordination with the Education
Coordinator, will provide opportunities for parents to
participate in cultural activities in the classroom.
c. The teaching staff, in coordination with the Education and
Family Services Coordinators, will utilize the parents of Head
Start children as resource people to visit classrooms , give
presentations , and share ideas in their area of specialized
knowledge and expertise.
HEALTH COMPONENT
The following outlines the procedures that will be used in physical
examinations, vision and hearing screenings, immunizations, dental
examinations and health follow up. Also discussed are the activities of
the Health Advisory Board, the school lunch program, in-service training
for staff and parents , recordkeeping, goals, objectives and methods to
achieve the goals and objectives.
Goal #1:
To have completed 80% of the physicals on all children who enroll by
December, 1985.
Objectives (to meet goal ) :
a. Physical , vision and hearing, immunizations, and medical histories
will be obtained by the Family Services Component when parents
initially enrolled their children. The Health Coordinator will
review the histories with each parent at the screening.
b. For the 1985-1986 school year, Head Start will contract with the
Sunrise Community Health Clinic to do physicals on the children at
the Head Start Center for three (3) days in September. These
physicals will be completed prior to school starting. The cost will
be $20.00 and will include a hematocrit and urinalysis., Children
already accepted and enrolled in the program will have their
physicals at a later date. Parents who do not want to take
advantage of this opportunity within the facility may take their
child to the doctor of their choice and Head Start will pay $20.00
towards the physical . The children in the county centers of
Firestone, Johnstown, and Pierce may take their child to the doctor
of their choice and Head Start will assume the payment.
c. Vision screening for acuity and stratismus will also be conducted
during the screening process. The screening will be completed by
the Health Coordinator, Health Aide and parent volunteers. Weld
County Head Start is currently using the Titmus testing machine, but
will possibly be purchasing a different device for pre-schoolers in
the future. Those children who fail the test or have 20/40 vision
or worse in either eye, will be retested in January, 1986. If the
child fails the test the second time, they will be referred to an
opthamologist for further testing, evaluation and treatment. The
opthamologist fees will be paid by Title XIX, private insurance,
Lion's Club, and/or Head Start funds.
d. Hearing screening will be done October 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, in
cooperation with School District 6. Puretone Audiometer will be
done in sound-proof booths. An abnormal hearing will be failure to
respond in either ear below 15 db at 500cps, 1000 cps, 2000 cps, and
4000 cps. Children failing this test will be tested by the UNC
Audiology Department. The children who fail the second test will be
referred to an Ear, Nose, and Throat Physician. The physician will
evaluate the case, retest, and initiate any indicated treatment.
Possible treatments could include myringatomy with tube placement,
removal or impacted cerumen, and implantation of a selective hearing
fl
aide device. Funds for the service will be obtained from the Head
Start. Program, Title XIX, private insurance, and Elks Club funds.
e. Immunization statistics are obtained during enrollment and parents
are informed of the new Colorado State Law. The Health Component
will refer all children with incomplete immunizations to physicians,
clinics , and the local Health Department. At the time of
enrollment, Head Start will evaluate the immunizations. Every child
should have four (4) DPT' s, four (4) OPV's, and one (1) MMR by the
time he or she is four (4) years of age. When the child enters
kindergarten or Head Start, they should have had the fifth DPT and
OPV. However, if the child' s doctor wants the child to wait until
they enter kindergartent to receive the fifth DPT or OPV, Head Start
will need written verification.
Goal #2:
To have dental screenings and dental work completed on 80% of all
children enrolled by December, 1985.
Objectives (to meet goal ) :
a. Dental examinations are done on all enrolled children. This year
the children will be examined by a Dental Hygienist at Sunrise
Clinic. It will then be determined by triage who needs treatment
first, second, and so on. The Health Coordinator will continue
fluoride treatment for the children in the Pierce center.
b. The Sunrise Community Health Center will continue to provide dental
examinations , including cleaning, to all Head Start children at a
cost of $25.00 per child. The $25.00 per child will cover all
needed dental treatment identified during the examination,
regardless of the amount of work performed.
Goal #3:
To have the Health Advisory Board play an important role in the
Health component for the 1985-1986 school year.
Objectives (to meet goal ):
a. The Parent Policy Council will again supply two (2) parents as
representatives to the Advisory Board. The council will work on
gaining greater growth and support for the program. The council
will meet five (5) times this year versus four (4) times in the
past. This will hopefully give greater dimension to the program.
Goal #4:
To continue to emphasize the importance of good nutrition for the entire
family unit.
Objectives (to meet goal ) :
a. Nutrition will continue to be a major part of the Health component.
A substantial breakfast and lunch will be provided to the children
attending morning sessions. A substantial lunch and a light snack
will be provided to children attending afternoon sessions. Meals
r
will be prepared in the Greeley facility. The Pierce children will
receive the same meals because the cooking staff in Pierce will be
following the same menus. In the Firestone and Johnstown centers,
the meals will be provided via a Purchase of Service Agreement with
the local school districts.
b. At least (10) families with high risk nutritional needs will be
identified and have developed individual nutrition plans to meet the
needs by May, 1986.
Goal #5:
To provide for prevention, early identification and early intervention
in problems that interfere with a child's development by identifying the
Special Needs child.
Objectives (to meet goal ) :
a. The acceptance process provides for early identification of a child
with a special need or handicap. All children reported as having a
specific handicap must have been diagnosed by appropriate profession-
als who work with children having a handicapping condition or
certification or licensure to make diagnosis. Families under this
category may be over income as defined by federal guidelines.
b. A developmental health screening will be completed on each child
prior to entrance into the classroom. The screenings will be held
monthly at centralized centers and will be coordinated in
conjunction with the other components. Appropriate placement in the
Head Start classroom is determined by a team consisting of Head
Start staff once the screening is completed.
c. Referral forms stating specific concerns of individual children will
be turned in by teachers in October and monthly thereafter. The
referral forms state problem areas that the teacher or others have
observed. All referrals are presented to a pre-assessment team to
determine if additional assessments, follow-up and/or planning is
necessary for each child. Conferences will then be arranged with
parents and teachers to discuss concerns and obtain parental
permission for additional assessments , if necessary.
d. Observations will be conducted in individual classrooms during the
month of October and when requested. Team teaching meetings will be
scheduled during the months of September through December to discuss
specific needs of all children.
e. An Individual Educational Plan (IEP) will be completed on children
who have scored low on the developmental screening , who have been
identified as handicapped, or who will be provided with special
services because of a specific need that is interfering with their
learning. The plan will include long and short term goals ,
strengths and weaknesses, and will also include the date these goals
are to be accomplished. The IEP will be completed by the classroom
teacher, parent, and Special Needs Technician. It will be reviewed
during the months of November, January, and April .
f. Community resources will be utilized within the Special Needs area
to assist with the administering of diagnostic testing and to
determine the severity of the special need or handicap. A variety
of community resources are accessible to the Weld County Head Start
Program in order to provide necessary testing and to recommend
needed supportive services.
g. A pre-assessment team consisting of representatives from local
school districts and Head Start staff has been developed and
established. Once a written referral is submitted, it is reviewed
by the team to determine if further testing is needed. The team
meets monthly to discuss each written referral and make
recommendations. The recommendations are recorded on a
Pre-Assessment Conference form. Information is gathered, test
results of assessments are recorded, and the child's dominant
language is noted. The information is utilized to share with
others who will be working directly with the child. Each member of
the committee is responsible for specific follow-up on each child.
h. A group of the most severely handicapped and/or special needs
children will be identified and monthly home visits or in-school
conferences are to be scheduled during the month of October. The
Technician will assess the needs of these families and children and
will work closely with Family Services to provide workshops, support
groups, "rap sessions" , social get-togethers , etc. There will be a
coordination of services between community resources from the
University, school districts , and Weld Mental Health. ,
i . The Special Needs Technician will coordinate necessary staffings
with teaching teams , parents , school districts , and necessary Head
Start staff. The staffings will provide an opportunity to share
information gathered and recommendations made with the parent and
classroom teacher. Once the testing is completed, the staffing will
be held.
Accomplishments for 1984-1985:
1. One hundred percent of the physicals were completed on all Head
Start children. The Sunrise Community Health Center came in
September, 1984, and completed the majority of these. The remaining
physicals were done when the children enrolled and
started school .
2. The vision screenings were completed on 100% of the children prior
to December 1984 The children who enrolled after January, 1985,
were also screened. Five children were identified as needing
glasses.
3. The hearing screenings were completed on 80% of the children in
October 1984. The remainder of the children were screened in
February 1985. Twenty four children required medical referrals and
four were hospitalized for tube placement and/or tonsillectomies.
4. The iimmunizations were completed. Fifty-three children were
suspended (after two notices were sent to parents) due to the
unavailability of their immunization records. Once these were
found, all children were reinstated.

disorders.
2. Five children were identified as having specific learning
disabilities.
P'l +''1
3. Two children were identified as significant developmental
delays.
d. Play Therapy
Twelve children were selected for Play Therapy as a result of
teacher and parent referrals, requests and concerns. Based
upon the advice of the U.N.C. ' s Psychology Department during
Spring Quarter, 1985, parents were required to attend weekly
parent meetings from 1:00 - 3: 15 p.m. every Monday at Head
Start. The twelve children were observed three times a week in
the classroom. The children were enrolled in Play Therapy
classes for one hour, once a week.
e. Pre-Kindergarten Screenings
Head Start works directly with school districts to encourage
all parents to become involved with public schools and
kindergarten screenings. Head Start assisted by informing
parents of the registration schedules and screening dates. If
necessary, Head Start provided transportation. All speech
evaluations and testing results were sent to the schools.
f. Language-Stimulation
Twelve (12) children attended the language classes held at Head
Start and instructed by the Special Needs Technician. Six
children attended on Tuesdays and the other six attended on
Thursday. The classes were set up to provide enriching
language opportunities , especially for those children who
needed additional and individual attention.
g. Pre-Assessments
The pre-assessment committee met during the months of October -
February to discuss the specific needs and concerns ofrreferred
children. The pre-assessment form Is compiled by the Special
Needs Technician and consists of a referral form, DIAL score,
family history and general information.
h. Mental Health
Five children and their families received therapy at the Weld
Mental Health Center: One child received therapy through UNC.
i . Interagency Screenings
Interagency screenings were attended by the Special Needs
Technician once a month.

reports , information and feedback on testing results ,
scheduling of services, and developmental goals for individual
children. In addition, the Special Needs Technician attended
staffings , parent conferences, and scheduled individuals from
other agencies to consult with teaching staff members.
FAMILY SERVICES COMPONENT
A. Enrollment
An increase in the enrollment level has resulted for the 1985/1986
program year due to the award of expansion monies. The enrollment
of children will be increasing from 275 to 300 children.
B. Recruitment
Recruitment for Head Start children has been on-going throughout the
school year of 1984-1985. Added emphasis on recruitment occurred
during the months of April and May 1985.
Recruitment has been done in all the major population centers of
Weld County. These areas include the Frederick-Firestone-Dacono,
Lucerne-Eaton-Ault-Pierce-Nunn, Evans-LaSalle-Gilcrest-Platteville,
Johnstown-Milliken, and the Greeley area.
The following resources have been used to expedite recruitment:
1. Utilizing Head Start posters in early spring was very successful
for the outreach recruitment. The Head Start posters were
distributed throughout Weld County areas. They were posted at
the elementery schools , target area grocery stores , laundromats,
low-income housing projects, WIRS, Social Services, Health
Department, Supplemental Foods, the Sunrise Health Center, and
other medical offices. The posters contained sufficient
information explaining the Head Start program and encouraging
current, past and new families in the areas to register their
child as soon as possible.
2. Recruitment flyers were sent to the Weld County Social Services
Department. These flyers were distributed to all parents
receiving ADC through the coordination and assistance of Social
Services. This process worked well because it reached families
in the lowest income category. The ADC families qualified for
the program immediately.
3. Radio spots were another source of recruitment for Head Start.
Local radio stations in Weld County were very supportive in
announcing the Head Start registration for early spring and the
fall . The radio stations also announced the current Head Start
activities and fund raising projects throughout the year.
4. Press releases were also beneficial for the program recruitment.
Many newspapers in the areas of Greeley, Eaton, Kersey,
Platteville, Ault, and LaSalle were very supportive. Numerous
families were reached with this source of information. The Head
Start staff was able to attend the public elementary schools '
Kindergarten Registration in the spring and in the fall to
r1
register Head Start children. In the press releases , families
were notified when Head Start staff would be present in their
area elementery schools.
5. Door to door canvassing was done in certain areas of Weld
County. The staff members from Family Services and parent
volunteers assisted in the recruitment. Recruitment packets
were prepared and distributed. Target areas were assigned to
staff and parents conducting door to door recruiting.
6. Many agencies within the community have made referrals of
possible eligible families to the Head Start Program. Numerous
referrals came from agencies such as: The Department of Social
Services , Weld B0CES Child Find, WIRS, UNC, District 6 Child
Find, InterAgency, and Health Department. The Head Start
program in Weld County has developed a good relationship with
these agencies. The agencies are aware of the Head Start
program services and how they benefit families.
C. Community Needs Assessment
The following is a community needs assessment of the individual
sites where Head Start centers have been located (based upon the low
income population within their communities).
Survey forms were distributed throughout the Weld County Public
Schools. The forms explaining the program' s guidelines , program, and
where to send in the survey form for follow-up from a Head Start
staff member.
1. Johnstown
The Johnstown-Milliken areas have been served over the last 6
years by a center located in the Letford Elementary school . The
center was first established because of the closure of the Great
Western Sugar Factory. The plant closure created economic
dislocations for many families. Even though the factory has
been re-opened by Coors, only a small number of the former
employees were re-hired.
In 1978, the Superintendent of School District RE-5J requested
that the Weld County Head Start establish a program in
Johnstown. The school district has supported the Head Start
program by providing classroom space at the Letford Elementary
school , accessability to the school lunch program and one-way
transportation for Head Start youngsters. By the end of May,
1985, 19 applications had been received. By August, 1985 a
total of 22 children were placed into the program.
2. Frederick-Dacono-Firestone
Traditionally the Frederick area has had a Head Start program.
Frederick is a major population center in South County. The center
was located in the Frederick Elementary school but because of the
esN
growing community, there was no longer space available in the
elementary school . The center was relocated to the Church Hall of
the Frederick Catholic Church. This year, the new location of the
center will be in the Firestone area. The area was canvassed as a
target area by staff and parents and as a result 13 children have
been placed in the classroom. Additional children will be enrolled
by the end of September, 1985.
3. Lucerne-Eaton-Ault-Nunn-Pierce
The northern area's center is located in the United Methodist Church
in the town of Pierce. The center includes the towns of Ault,
Lucerne, Eaton, Pierce, and Nunn. As of May, 1985, 15 children were
accepted into the program and by September, 1985, 20 children had
been placed.
D. Fees Charged
At this time, the Head Start Program in Weld County has not and will
not charge fees for the program.
The Family Services component is made up of two (2) major areas. The
areas are identified below and contain the information specific to each
area.
1. Parent Involvement
A. Goal #1
To convince parents that their involvement would be most
meaningful to them and their children.
1. The orientation given to new parents during the DIAI}
screening provides an explanation of the importance of
parent involvement, their role, and how they can participate
in the different components of Head Start.
2. An assessment will be conducted and will identify for the
parents how they can participate in parent involvement.
3. A short individualized parent involvement plan will be
developed with each 'parent.
4. To develop a plan of recognition to be given to the
participating parents and to do a monthly follow-up contact
on those who aren't able to participate.
Time Frame: July - September and on-going.
B. Goal #2
To provide a workshop for teachers and all staff on how to
increase and maintain parent involvement. The workshop will
offer the following:
00.1
1. Using the right approach in doing home visits/parent
meetings.
2. Evaluating reasons why the program loses parent involvement.
3. Educating the Head Start staff about parent involvement in
terms of attitudes towards parents and the significance of
parent involvement.
4. Reviewing reasons why we should involve parents.
5. Clarifying the responsibilities of parent and staff.
Time Frame: September, 1985
C. Goal #3
To invite parents to design with staff members a program that
will meet not only their interests and needs but keep them
actively involved.
1. Provide parents with classes in parenting skills.
2. Utilize a questionnaire to be completed by parents.
3. To plan with the parents who are interested and clear all
obstacles such as child care, transportation, or working
out a schedule which would be convenient for them.
4. To have parents evaluate the classes they took and determine
if they were beneficial for them.
Time Frame: October, 1985
D. Goal #4
To provide to parents a training program of class oriented
activities that will enable them to reinforce developmental
gains in the home.
1. Parents will need to identify what they want for their
children to accomplish.
2. Determine what types of activities will help them achieve
their goals and objectives.
Time Frame: January, 1986
2. Social Services
A. Goal #1
To provide services and conduct a follow-up on referrals with
each family in order to identify the community services that
they need.
C' fl
1. Contact the agencies the families were referred to.
2. Check with the family to determine if they have received the
services is needed and if not, why not?
3. Determine the treatment the family received from the service
provider (sometimes the family is not treated well and it
discourages them from following through, especially when
they need the service).
B. Goal #2
To act as spokesperson for the parents enrolled in Head. Start
and to serve as Head Start representatives in the community.
1. Become thoroughly familiar with available community
resources.
2. To hold parent meetings and invite presentors from local
community agencies to discuss their operation and what they
can offer to families.
