PROGRAM ACCOUNT 23
PROGRAM NARRATIVE
The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) requests permission to spend a
carry-over balance of $248,253.00 (1996 Program Year Grant). The requests are detailed in the
Budget Narrative portion of this request.
Each item/expenditure will the facilitate improvements identified during our On -site Review, in
September, 1996. As well as being identified during the review, we have included these
improvements/expenditures in our Quality Improvement Plan, in order to improve services to
Migrant Head Start Families and Children.
We hope that we have an expedient response to this request so that we may commence with the
proposed preparations for the upcoming year.
The following is an explanation of our rationale for requesting these funds:
EQUIPMENT
Parent Involvement Van
Currently we operate one Parent Involvement Van in the Northern Area of Colorado. The
van travels to the parents homes, labor camps, and center committee meetings for the
purpose of, communicating with families, providing parent education/training, and
coordinating services with area agencies, etc. This van also contains a lending library
(books, toys, and activities) for the children and families enrolled in the program.
The Parent Involvement Van is effective in helping us meet our goals for the Parent
Involvement Component, in the northern area. The Western Slope (Grand Junction and
Olathe) could benefit greatly from the use of a Parent Involvement Van. Currently, we
provide parent activities on the Western Slope through parent meetings and home visits,
and parents do not receive the comprehensive information and training as the parents in
the northern areas, due to limited resources.
In order to provide continuity in services and ensure that quality services are provided for
all families, a Parent Involvement Van for the Western Slope would be a great benefit
970267
Modular Facility
Our Olathe classrooms are located at two different locations. The Family Educational
Network of Weld County (FENWC) currently has one facility in Olathe with two
classrooms, and we rented an older home to provide additional classrooms and office
space. This facility has been demolished, therefore; it will be more difficult to secure an
appropriate facility. Appropriate rental space in Olathe is difficult to locate and secure
for a short period of time. It is also preferable that the classrooms be at the same location,
and designed specifically for use as an early childhood educational facility.
Land has been donated to FENWC, for the placement of a second portable classroom
unit, by the Housing Authority of Olathe which is adjacent to our current facility.
SUPPLIES
Multi -cultural Supplies and Materials
Another identified area of weakness during the on -site review was a lack of multi -cultural
materials and supplies, specific to the migrant population, in the classrooms. It is our
intent to purchase toys, posters, music, clothes for the dramatic play area, art materials,
etc., for the enhancement of multi -cultural education.
We are also researching multi -cultural curriculum to implement in the classroom.
Parent Involvement Van Supplies
Included in our current Parent Involvement Van are; books for ages 0 through adults, a
toy/manipulative lending library, educational videos, television, community resource
information, supplies and materials (scissors, crayons, paper, etc.) to leave with children
and families. We also stock up on clothing items, blankets, etc. to provide to the families.
If funded for the Parent Involvement Van for the Western Slope, we will equip the van
with the aforementioned items.
Playground
The current playgrounds are in need of infant/toddler appropriate equipment. We have
three infant/toddler centers in the Greeley area in need of outdoor equipment as well as
the centers in Grand Junction, Olathe and Fort Morgan.
970267
OTHER
Renovation of Facilities
In order for the facilities in Weld County to be more appropriate for infants/toddlers and
families, it makes sense for us to refashion the restroom/common areas. With this
remodel each classroom would have their own bathroom/changing area; therefore,
eliminating the need for a staff member to accompany children to the bathroom, leaving
the required number of adults in the classrooms at all times. This redesign will also add
an office, so that the service coordinators and health staff will have appropriate space to
meet with parents and provide health related services to children.
