NEED FOR ASSISTANCE AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA No additional information is required. 2. OBJECTIVES AND RESULTS OR BENEFITS EXPECTED The Family Educational Network of Weld County moved into the "Neighborhood School" model in January 1992. It was anticipated that the new model would be realized in October, 1991; however, due to construction complications the opening was belated. Services to the children were not significantly delayed or interrupted. Children were able to attend classes at the main site until the modular buildings were complete. The classrooms were moved during the Christmas break and children were able to start the "New Year" in their new classrooms. An additional site was added for school year 1992-1993, in Kersey, School District RE-7. This classroom has children participating from the Colorado Pre-school Project and Special Needs Programs, as well as Head Start. Head Start eligible children from this district had previously received services at the Greeley Center. Kersey is located twelve miles east of Greeley. The Kersey School District has a pre-school classroom adjacent to the elementary school. The following classrooms, located on elementary school campuses, have children integrated from various programs; Head Start, The Colorado Pre- school Project, and/or Special Needs Programs within school districts. Hudson Elementary, 300 Beach, Hudson Milliken Elementary, 300 Broad, Milliken Kersey Elementary, 510 Clark, Kersey Billie Martinez Elementary, 341 14th Avenue, Greeley Madison Elementary, 24th Avenue and 6th Street, Greeley East Memorial Elementary, 614 East 20th Street, Greeley Jefferson Elementary, 1315 4th Avenue, Greeley Centennial Elementary, 1400 37th Street, Evans Dos Rios Elementary, 2201 34th Street, Evans The following site is located at a low-income housing project and has children integrated from the aforementioned programs. Island Grove Village, 119 14th Avenue, Greeley 921040 The site located in Frederick provides services to Head Start eligible children only. Frederick, 340 Maple, Frederick The Gilcrest Center provides services to children enrolled in the Weld School District RE-1, Colorado Pre-school and Special Needs Programs only. Children eligible for Head Start in this school District go to either the Frederick Center or one of the Greeley Centers. The Gilcrest School District (RE-1) and FENWC are trying to compromise on issues which prevent these children from attending the Gilcrest Site. We are committed to resolve these issues for School Year 1993-'94. Gilcrest Elementary, 1175 Birch, Gilcrest **The following is a report of the progress made toward the goals established in 1990 for the FENWC program, through 1993. GOAL #1 PARENT INVOLVEMENT Parent Involvement will be increased by a minimum of 50% by program year 1994, and will address the overall goals of Head Start to increase social competency of families. HEALTH COMPONENT Objective: To identify a minimum of 3 target families and assist them to follow through, and be involved with their child's health, dental and special needs care in order to ensure that child and family needs are met. Accomplishments: Eighteen parents were identified as needing assistance in following through and being involved with their child's health needs. All of the parents were contacted, sought assistance and were attentive to their child's health care needs. Objective: Encourage three parents (at a minimum) to become involved in the workings of the Health Component, and train them to assist with the health screenings, fill in and assist when the coordinator needs help going to other sites. Accomplishments: Four parents assisted with the Dental Screenings. Two parents assisted with Heights and Weights. Two parents assisted with Vision Screenings. 921.04O FAMILY SERVICES Objective: Have a center meeting on a monthly basis with a minimum of three parents in attendance with topics addressing the needs to parents. Accomplishments: Center Committee meetings were held monthly, as planned. Objective: Increase contact of parents on a monthly basis. Case managers will spend fifteen percent (15%) of their time with parents. Accomplishments: Case managers spent fifteen percent (15%) or more of their time with the families assigned to them. GOAL #2 TRAINING Parents, staff and community trainings will address Head Start specific issues and increase awareness of a Comprehensive Early Childhood Program. HEALTH COMPONENT Objective: To establish a comprehensive training program for parents, staff and the community. Accomplishments: Six parents along with staff participated in the Dental Workshop. Thirty parents attended First Aide and CPR classes and received their certification. All staff requiring their First Aide and CPR Certificates completed the class and received their certificates. Six parents and all education staff attended the Nutrition Workshop. Six parents attended the Basic Health Workshop. Three parents attended a Child Abuse Prevention Workshop. Eight parents along with staff attend a Mental Health Workshop. Not accomplished: Once again the Parent Support Group on site never materialized. This is due to FENWC's transition into the "Neighborhood School Concept", and the fact that there is no longer a central location for parents to meet. We are currently in the process of locating appropriate facilities whereby we can hold these support groups. There were; however, many referrals made to local programs working with parents. 9 ;=.040 Objective: Train staff in identifying the child with emotional needs, identify three children and begin treatment. Accomplishments: Eighteen children and families were identified as needing Mental Health Services and twelve families received services through Weld Mental Health or Adams County Mental Health. FAMILY SERVICE COMPONENT Objective: Assist parents, staff and the community with a training on literacy with a minimum of five persons in attendance. Accomplishments: Thirteen parents were enrolled in GED classes at Aims Couuuunity College and with BUENO-HEP. Four parents were enrolled in ESL classes. Two parents took a spanish class at Aims Community College. Objective: Provide training on Centering Curriculum/Self Esteem to parents, communities and staff with a minimum of six persons in attendance, in Spanish and in English. Accomplishments: We were unable to provide the Centering Training as there was a significant amount of turn-over in the Family Services Component. GOAL #3 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT To educate community agencies and the private sector to the goals and philosophy of the Head Start Program, in order to enhance advocacy for children and families, as well as program participation. HEALTH COMPONENT Objective: Complete the DIAL-R on all enrolled children. Schedule Case- reviews, Interagency Clinics, Speech Diagnostics and treatment with the University of Northern Colorado. Accomplishments: The following agencies and community representatives were involved in the aforementioned activities; local dental providers, the Weld County Health Department, the University of Northern Colorado, Weld County Hospice, the Red Cross, Members of the Health Advisory Board, and the Interagency Early Childhood Clinic. 921040 Objective: Mainstream all special needs children into school districts by April 1992, by way of staffings. Accomplishments: School personnel (School Community Facilitator) were identified. The Special Needs Technician and teachers attended all staffings regarding identified children. Individual Education Plans were written in conjunction with the parents and the schools. At the end of the school year, withdrawal forms were sent to the schools with all pertinent information to ensure that proper follow-up is given to the children. FAMILY SERVICE COMPONENT Objective: Case managers with the assistance of parents will visit three agencies or business for an information sharing session to discuss what each agency or business has to offer and explain the services of FENWC. Not accomplished: This goal was revisited and it was determined that this method was not an effective means to gather and disseminate information. The number of agencies that we can effectively visit and impact is limited. The turn-over rate of the Family Service Component was also a factor in the need to delete this goal. Objective: Provide assistance for parents transitioning children into the public school districts. Accomplished- The breakdowns were completed in May of 1992. Information was sent to parents regarding Kindergarten Round- up and follow-up was done with both the parents and the schools. GOAL #4 NAEYC ACCREDITATION To have all FENWC sites credentialed by the National Association of Education for Youth Children and Children by 1994. EDUCATION COMPONENT Objective: To help FENWC personnel become involved in the credential process that will facilitate real and lasting improvements in the quality of the program serving young children. Accomplishments: Due to the new program model the credential process has been delayed. We hope to complete the process for all centers by December of 1995. 921040 3. APPROACH The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) is in the process of completing it's transition into the "Neighborhood School Concept". In the process of this transition it became apparent that the staffing pattern could not meet the demands of the new structure. It was also obvious that the staffing pattern needed to be reorganized in order for the program to align itself for future program expansion. The attached organizational chart illustrates the new personnel structure. The current structure was approved by Region VIII with the most current Quality Improvement Grant. In keeping with the "Neighborhood School Concept" FENWC is hoping to purchase slots from with SJB Child Development Centers, Inc. SJB Child Development Centers, Inc. operate early childhood programs, including; The Colorado Pre-school Project and Special Needs Programs (99-457) on elementary school sites. SJB Child Development Centers, Inc. provides these services on public school sites where FENWC does not have early childhood projects. It is in accordance with FENWC's "Neighborhood School Concept" to offer all children the opportunity to attend an integrated, quality, early childhood program located at the public school where they will attend kindergarten. We are proposing to purchase 20 slots from SJB Child Development Centers, Inc. The elementary school sites which will benefit from the FENWC/SJB collaborative effort are as follow: Jefferson Elementary, 1315 4th Avenue, Greeley Monfort Elementary, 2101 47th Avenue, Greeley Scott Elementary, 3000 13th Street, Greeley The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) has identified several areas of needed improvement through the SAVI, Self Program Monitoring and Parent Questionnaires. The critical areas the program will concentrate on are mental health, multi-cultural activities and materials, parent classes, and training for the Service Coordinators (a newly created position) . Following is a description of how we will improve upon the aforementioned areas of needed improvement. Mental Health Currently FENWC contracts with Weld Mental Health and Adams County Mental Health. These contracts provide for; 10 individual or family sessions located on site, parent support groups, and parent trainings. If a family or child requires or requests more than the ten allotted sessions, provisions will be made. All services are available to monolingual spanish speaking families. The University of Northern Colorado (UNC) will provide play therapy, and staff and parent training. Services will be coordinated between the, families and children mental health clinics and UNC by the Special Needs Technician. We are also hoping to make services available to staff members who may be in need. Multi-cultural Activities and Materials FENWC is in the process of assessing the multi-cultural materials and supplies in each classroom and the resources available. This process should be complete by December, 1992. January, 1993 new appropriate materials will be ordered. Materials will include: books, pictures, toys, games, etc. Trainings on multi-cultural diversity and activities will be arranged with the T/TA network as well as through local agencies. A coordinated grant to Public Service of Colorado was submitted by The Area Agency on Aging, Weld School District 6, The United Way of Weld County and FENWC. The grant is to promote an inter-generational program which will enhance multi-cultural diversity in the classrooms. The targeted classrooms for FENWC are in the rural areas of Kersey and Milliken. The intent of this grant is so that older adults will share their life stories and experience, dance, customs, food, etc. with the children participating in the FENWC Early Childhood Programs. Parent Classes There will be a minimum of one parent class per month. The topics will cover a wide variety of material, and all Head Start Component areas will be covered. At Open-House, parents were given a questionnaire to determine their needs and interests. This information will be gathered and staff will determine the needs of the parents. A yearly and monthly calendar will be sent to the parents regarding the trainings and classes to be offered. The Service Coordinators will also contact parents with particular interests to encourage them to participate. We hope to utilize parents to conduct classes for other parents. The following resources will be used to provide classes for parents: The University of Northern Colorado, Aims Community College, Weld Mental Health, Parents, The Specialist Staff at FENWC, The Region VIII T/TA Network, Private Consultants etc. Parents will also be encouraged to attend staff trainings, when appropriate. All trainings will be documented. Service Coordinator Training The Service Coordinator is a newly created position within the new organizational structure of FENWC. In order for staff in this position to be effective in their new roles, we have identified the following training needs: Supervisory Training, The On Site Program Review Instrument (OSPRI) , Team Building, Time Management, Communication Skills and The Art of Networking. The same resources mentioned in the Parent Classes will provide the aforementioned trainings. 32_1040 HANDICAPPED SERVICES The Family Educational Network of Weld County will continue to allocate .0275 of its dollars to provide services to children with special needs. Children will be recruited with their diagnosis in tact from various referring sources, within Weld County. During the time of screenings it is inevitable that we identify students with possible needs. Upon identifying children with possible needs we refer them to the proper agencies and/or doctors for a complete assessment and diagnosis. When the child is diagnosed a complete Individual Education Plan is written in coordination with the child's parent, Special Needs Technician, the therapist etc. When a special needs child enters the program and after the Individual Education Plan is written, appropriate materials and supplies will be ordered for the child, to ensure a successful Head Start experience. Children and parents will receive all needed services according to the Individual Education Plan in coordination with the school districts and appropriate agencies. FENWC assures that parents and children will receive necessary support services to include: transportation, child care, mental health etc. 9e7-4 ,,:.a4U FAMILY EDUCATIONAL NETWORK OF WELD COUNTY CONTINUATION APPLICATION GRANT #08CR0019/20 PROGRAM NARRATIVE PA 20 The Family Educational Network of Weld County is dedicated to ensure that staff receive the highest quality training as possible.
