Objectives & Need Assistance The purpose of a Migrant Head Start Program to be operated on the western slope (Mesa, Delta & Montrose Counties) is to provide the following services to eligible Migrant families: 1) to enchance self sufficiency, 2) educational services, 3) health services, 4) nutritional services, 5) social services, 6) parental services and support, 7) enhance children's self-esteem and cultural price. Another purpose is to provide a safe, healthy and nurtiring environment for children of migrant families. Migrant children accompanying their parents to the fields are placed in a potentially dangerous situation. It is the intent of the Family Educational Network of Weld County to provide migrant families with the assurance that their children are being provided with the best possible educational and health services as well as being free from the hazards of being in the fields and orchards. The Western Slope is Colorado's producer of orchard crops as well as onions, corn and other table produce. The area in need is comprised of Mesa, Delta and Montrose Counties (see attached map) . Orchard crops require fewer migrants than do other crops in Colorado. According to data obtained from the Colorado Department of Education, Colorado Department of Migrant Health and Colorado Employment Services the estimated number of seasonal and migrant farmworkers is 2,500 (including dependent family members). It was reported that between 75 to 100 in need of Migrant Head Start Services were in the orchards. As of this date there are no day care services available to this population other than care by relatives (at times as young as 8 years old) or day care centers costing the migrant families a minimum of $11.00 per day. It is the intent of the F.E.N.W.C. to provide much needed Migrant Head Start Services to the migrant families on the Western Slope via a delegate agency. II. Results of Benefits Expected The family Educational Network of Weld County proposes to expand services to eligible Migrant children on the Western Slope, with a targeted enrollment of 50 children with a minimum enrollment of 5 handicapped children. We are proposing to enter into a delegate agency agreement with a local service provider all ready established in the area. The Family Educational Network of Weld County has been approached by various agencies interested in providing services to the migrant children to included: Rocky Mountain S.E.R. , Jobs for Progress and Hilltop Inc. (a local service agency). To determine the agency best suited to deliver services to the migrant population the Family Educational Network of Weld County will send out Requests for Proposals in December of 1990. R.F.P's for a delegate agency will be reviewed by a selection team to include: staff, parents and community agencies and the agency best suited for service delivery will be selected. The Family Educational Network of Weld County proposes the following options: P.A. 23 - to provide services for Migrant children ages 0-5. P.A. 26 - to provide handicapped services to migrant children. III. Approach A. Start-Up Recruitment of Delegate Agency The Family Educational Network of Weld County will send out Request for Proposals (RFP"S) to local service agencies on the Western Slope in December of 1990. Request for Proposals will be submitted in January of 1991 and will meet the following criteria: 1. An ability to comply with and adhere to the Head Start Performance Standards especially the Parents I-30 and establish an effective Parent Policy Committee. 2. An established networking system with local community agencies and businesses. 3. An ability to meet all of the goals and objectives as mandated by the grantee. 4. A proven track record in working with low-income/migrant families and knowledge of the needs specific to the migrant population and ability to recruit and serve eligible families. 5. An ability to meet the needs of the migrant families. 6. Have adequate licensing facilities for operation. The Request of Proposals will be reviewed by a team to consist of grantee staff, parents and community agencies. The agency best suited to deliver Migrant Head Start Services will be selected. Training of Delegate Agency After careful selection of a delegate agency, intensive training will commence. Training will include: 1. Head Start Performance Standards 2. Developmentally Appropriate Early Childhood Practices for children 0-5 (as established by Y.A.E.Y.C.) 3. Nutrition 4. Health 5. Special Needs/Mental Health 6. Parent Involvement/Establishing an effective Policy Committee 7. Recruitment and Eligibility 8. Cultural Awareness - Migrant Specific 9. Fiscal and Administrative Responsibilities 10. S.A.V.I. 11. Career Development The trainings will be conducted by staff from the Family Educational Network of Weld County. Interstate Research Associates (I.R.A. the T/TA vendor for The Migrant Programs Branch) and consultants deemed necessary. Delegate Agency Monitoring The delegate agency will be monitored annually be the Grantee utilizing the Self Assessment Validation Instrument (SAVI) as a guide.

CALENDAR OF ACTIVITIES Time Responsible Staff Date Request for Proposals Executive Director December 5, 1990 to be disseminated Request for proposals due Executive Director January 30, 1991 Selection of Delegate Agency Executive Director February 28, 1991 Delegate Agency Training Director March, 1991 Start up of Operations Delegate, Director May, 1991 Closing of Operations Delegate, Director October, 1991 3. Education The Delegate Agency representing FENWC will implement a developmentally appropriate High/Scope Curriculum for children 3-5 years of age. This curriculum is based on the therapy of Jean Piaget's cognitive development. The frame work for the curriculum is based on Active Learning around key experiences: Language, Classification, Seriation, Number, Spatial Relations, Time, A Plan Do Review Process is used to help the child to think, problem solve and make decisions. Language is used in a developmentally appropriate manner to extend conversation in the child's dominant language. The children's physical , social and emotional development is also supported through a nuturing environment, using the child's dominant language. In the Infant/Toddler Program the use of the Small Wonder Curriculum will be implemented. This curriculum addresses cognitive, physical , social and emotional development and is also implemented using the child's dominant language. All children will be screened using the DDST (Denver Developmental Screening Test) within 30 days of enrollment. Progress of development is recorded on the CAR (Child Assessment Record). 4. Health Component The following, outlines the procedures that will be implemented in the delivery of medical , dental , special needs, mental health, and nutritional services to migrant children and their families: Medical A local Health Clinic in conjunction with the Migrant Health Department will provide services to the migrant centers on the western slope. The Social Services Component will collect medical and health histories on every child during the enrollment process. The nurse will review this information and conduct a health screening on children as they are enrolled. The screenings will consist of weight and height measurements and a hematocrit. The physical examinations are conducted by migrant health or the local health vendor. A physician from 2 local clinics will visit the center three times weekly to examine sick children and prescribe medication. The clinic provides open slots for migrant children throughout the week so sick children can be seen on those days when the doctor does not visit. The Centers will be serviced by Health Care Providers from the Plan de Salud del Valle Health Clinic. The Head Start Center will have a nurse who is responsible for the coordination of health and medical services provided to the children enrolled in the Migrant Head Start Program. Vision All enrolled children have their vision tested by qualified personnel . Children who fail the vision test or have 20/40 vision or worse in either eye will be retested. If a child fails the test a second time, they will be referred to an optometrist. Fees are paid for by Title XIX, Lions Club, community donations, or Migrant Head Start funds. Hearing Hearing screenings will be conducted in cooperation with local school districts. A Puretone Audiometer Test will be done in sound proof booths by professional staff. Abnormal hearing will be failure to respond in either ear below 15 db. at 500 cps. , 1000 cps. , 2000 cps. , and 4000 cps. Children failing this test will receive further testing. Children who fail the second test will be referred to an ear, nose, and throat specialist. Possible treatment may include, myringatomy with tube placement, removal of impacted cerumen, and implantation of a selective hearing aid device. Funds for the services are obtained from Title XIX funds , private community donations, ana Migrant Head Start funds. Immunizations Immunization records and information are obtained during the enrollment process. Parents are informed of their child's immunization status. If parents do not have records and they can be located in another state, the Health Component will strive to obtain the information. If the child needs immunizations, parents are asked to sign a consent form to have the nurse make arrangements for the child to receive them. These children receive updated immunizations at the Migrant Head Start Centers. Dental Dental screenings are done on all enrolled children (age appropriate). Children identified with possible dental problems are then examined further by a dental hygienist. Examinations include, x-rays, and fluoride application. All needed dental treatment, identified during the examination process is provided by local community health clinics and dentists. Mental Health The Mental Health Plan will provide for the prevention of, the identification of, and early intervention in problems that interfere with a child's overall emotions development. A consultant from a Mental Health Center will provide the following services: assessment of child's emotional needs; service recommendations; direct services, such as parenting classes, family counseling, play therapy, and psychological testing. Booklets and information regarding the availability for services, workshops and inservices for Head Start staff are disseminated to staff and parents. Nutrition The delegate agency representative for the FENWC, Migrant H.S. Program must recognize the importance of nutrition for healthy, social , emotional and intellectual development. A balanced diet plays an important role in a child's ability to interact successfully, learn, achieve, have good relationships with other children his/her own age, and develop a good parallel play routine. Nutrition is an important part of FENWC's program. A substantial breakfast, lunch, and snack will be provided to all children participating in the program. All menus will include the four basic food groups, proper nutritional values for infants, toddlers, and pre-school age children. All meals provided will be nutritionally sound and prepared appropriately for the different age groups served. No limitations are set on the amount of food any child can eat and food is not used a punishment or reward. The delegate agency will comply with USDA guidelines as established by the Child/Adult Care Food Program. Cooking experiences for the children are conducted in the classroom (age appropriate) . Food projects are conducted on a monthly basis and assistance is given by the cooking staff, whenever possible. There will be in-depth training for the cooking staff in meal preparation, use of equipment, ordering supplies, record keeping, and the adequate use of time and surroundings. Training includes information on the following: * four basic food groups * food preparation * use of commodity supplemental foods * any concerns expressed by Migrant Head Start parents and staff * Child/ Adult Care Food Program Handicap/ Special Needs The FENWC Migrant Head Start Program delegate agency will provide services to handicapped children, 10 percent of the total number of funded slots. The following services will be provided to special needs children to mainstream them into the program. a. Instructional Services The program provides special needs children with opportunities to improve their communication skills, assist them to function successfully in a school environment by providing them with positive preschool experiences. Specially designed activities increase their social growth, give them a positive self-concept, and interaction skills. Utilizing every available appropriate federal , state, and local resource, through coordinated funding, state, and local resource will improve mutual understanding and appreciation of differences among children. b. Supportive Services FENWC's Migrant Head Start makes every effort to establish an intrastate and interstate communication program for the exchange of students records, methods, concepts and materials to assure that sequence and continuity will be an inherent part of the migrant handicapped children's total educational program. Communication is developed and established among the FENWC Migrant Head Start Programs, the community and its agencies to ensure coordination of all available resources for the benefit of 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. Pre-service and in-service will be conducted to increase staff's awareness of their personal biases and possible prejudices toward handicapped persons by upgrading staff's skills for teaching migrant handicapped children. Lines of communication are established among the Migrant Head Start staff and migrant families to encourage parental support of their handicapped child. 5. Parent Involvement The importance of parent involvement in Migrant Head Start is unquestionable. For the past twenty-five years , the success of Migrant Head Start, as a comprehensive early childhood program, has been due to extensive parent involvement. FENWC Migrant Head Start Program is committed to the principle that parents, with adequate support, can provide a home environment that will stimulate children to be successful in their educational endeavors. Migrant Head Start encourages parents to take advantage of opportunities offered to them by the Migrant Head Start experience. Parent participation includes: . Involving them in decision making . Involvement as paid staff, volunteers, and observers in the classroom . Working at home with their child(ren) , in cooperation with Migrant Head Start staff, to support the child(ren) 's experiences. . Involvement in the development of a parent education plan The plan by the delegate agency to involve parents in center activities includes: Open House/Family Nights - Four (minimum) open house/family nights to be conducted during the summer program. Parents will have the opportunity to visit their child(ren) 's center, visit with their child(ren) 's teacher(s) , visit their child(ren) 's classroom(s), and discuss any concerns with the staff. Also, the parents will have the opportunity to meet and socialize with other families. Each Family Night will consist of: a dinner provided by the program; speakers; film presentations; and distribution of educational materials regarding health, parenting, services available in the community, etc. All the materials and presentations will be provided in Spanish and English. Parent Policy Council - Parents will be encouraged to participate in the Parent Policy Council (PPC). Each classroom will select one (1) parent as a representative and parent as an alternate to the Parent Policy Council . The Parent Policy Council will meet three (3) times during the summer months. The Migrant Policy Council works in conjunction with the Family Educational Network of Weld County Policy Council to ensure that their needs are specifically addressed and represented in overall program planning. Parents living out of state will receive minutes from all meetings and correspondence regarding all programmatic planning to ensure their representation and input. If necessary and if budget allows parents will be provided with transportation and lodging to attend meetings. Parents are encouraged to visit the center/classroom when they are not working because of weather or unavailability work. Visiting the classrooms offers parents the opportunity to become better acquainted with their child(ren) 's teacher. Teachers also learn much about the child(ren) from the parents, in order to enhance the quality of care that each individual child receives while in the program. Parent Education - Agencies such as Community Colleges, Health Centers and Migrant Health Department offer adult classes for families. Classes are offered in nutrition, child development, birth control , first aid, GED, English and other topics in which the families show interest. The delegate agency will assist in the coordination of these educational efforts by disseminating information; participating as presenters; and encouraging parents to attend, by offering free childcare and transportation as when needed. 6. Social Services An outreach and recruitment process will systematically ensure enrollment of eligible children. Recruitment activities include: networking with community agencies; advertising in newspapers and on radio stations , in both English and Spanish; visiting migrant labor camps; and placing posters in migrant health centers , food stamp office, Job Service officers, etc. A family needs assessment will be conducted for every family participating in the program. The needs assessment identifies the interests, desires, goals, needs and strengths of the family. A Case Management approach is used after completion of the Family Needs Assessment to ensure that families needs are met. The Family Services component provides direct services and advocates for Migrant families by networking with local social service agencies, community organizations, volunteer organizations, etc. The main goal is to determine how Migrant Head Start can help families to attain self-sufficiency. Close relationships have been established with local employment and training programs, such as JTPA, Employment Services and Rocky Mountain SER's Jobs For Progress, those programs target low-income migrant families for employment and training. Rocky Mountain SER receives federal funds to training, job search, relocation assistance, etc. Direct services that Migrant Head Start will provide to migrant families include: free child care while family members attend workshops and GED classes; transportation to the center, so parents may attend meetings, volunteer in the classroom, etc. , clothing for Migrant Head Start family members, and food vouchers. These and other direct services will be provided in part or all be fundraising efforts and local business donations. families are also referred to other agencies in an effort to meet their needs. 7. Career Development and Recruitment Career Development is a vital and necessary part of the FENWC Migrant Head Start Program. Without well trained and strongly motivated Migrant Head Start staff, the services provided to the Migrant Head Start child and family cannot attain the quality necessary for the successful operation of the program. The delegate agencies, Migrant Head Start Program's Career Development Plan must provide the following: A part-time CDA Advisor - The CDA Advisor completes observations, gives feedback, fills out advisor report forms, follows up on any recommendations given as to how to help candidates improve and acquire needed skills, assists candidates in portfolio development, assists candidates in the LAT preparation, conducts a mock LAT for candidates, and assists parent representatives in completing observations and report forms. A Career Development Committee (CDA) - This committee is composed of professionals, para-professionals, and representatives from each of the Migrant Head Start component areas. A plan for job development which includes: . Recruitment . Selection Criteria . Job Descriptions . Career Ladder . Employee Evaluation . Professional Growth and Development An appraisal-counseling-evaluation system - Staff evaluations are completed on a quarterly basis during the summer program. This is necessary given the short period of time that the staff works for the program (Approximately 5 months). Based on assessment, training and technical assistance is planned and delivered to staff to address identified weak areas. 8. Training Since there is a high turn over of staff working for the summer program each year, a generic, intensive training is delivered to all staff before the centers initiate their operations, and continues for the duration of the program. Staff members who desire to continue training throughout the year will be provided with support and the opportunity to participate in training to be offered year round. An approved training plan must be submitted yearly by the delegate agency. Education Special emphasis will be devoted to infant and toddler training. Trainers will be the Education Coordinator and additional consultants from local Universities, Community Colleges, Community Center Boards, Migrant Head Start T/TA provider; IRA and any local resources identified. Training will take place at the Center and will be in the format of lectures, films, role playing, video taping, and hands-on activities. On-the-job follow up is imperative for successful demonstration of the functional areas. "Overview and Goals for Infant/Toddler Child Care Programs, and the Early Childhood Education." This training will be provided by the grantee participants with an understanding of the importance of their role as child care providers. "Understanding of Principals of Child Growth and Development/" This training will teach participants to identify and understand the different stages of child development, how young children learn best at their developmental levels, which is at the sensory-motor, and pre-operational levels, how over-and under-expectations can have an effect on the child's later learning and self concept. Topics will include child development principals, studies of child growth and development, the developmental areas--physical , social , emotional , and cognitive, recognizing children with special needs, observation and recording techniques, balancing caregiving and direct instruction, discipline and changing behavior techniques, How to Talk So Children Will Listen, and List So Children Will Talk, INREAL strategies, and language development. "Classroom Management Principles." This training involves teaching participants how to set up a classroom learning environment. The classroom will be set up into functional areas labeled and organized for optimal usage. A daily routine will be established to meet the developmental needs of each of the age groups. All areas of this daily routine will be thoroughly discussed to ensure that a program of the desired quality is being provided. The subject of health and safety of each age group will be addressed, its importance will be stressed, not only for the children in care but for the adult caregivers as well . Since play equipment and materials can often be a mystery to a novice caregiver, time will be devoted to the use of play equipment and how it effects development. Other subjects which will be studied and discussed are: the curriculum, use of training and educational kits, lesson planning, record keeping (children's files, progress reports, screening devices, etc. ) , bilingual and multicultural issues and materials will be studied and discussed. Participants will have an opportunity to make materials for their age groups and practice filling out forms, reports, etc. The Teaching staff will have a variety of aides and assistants to supervise and work with (summer youth workers, volunteers, UNC/Aims students, parents, support staff, and aides). They will need to know how to work well with others, give clear and concise directions, delegate work, accomplish program goals, and document and report incidents that need to be brought to the attention of the Director or Education Coordinator. They will also need to know what equipment, supplies and materials are available, and how to use them. In addition, they must understand the policies, procedures, and regulations (local , state, and federal ) associated with the program. Health Red Cross classes will be offered as well as Infant/Toddler CPR classes. Classroom staff will attend these classes. The Health Coordinator will offer training on: .
