PART IV PROGRAM NARRATIVE PA 23 The Family Educational Network of Weld County provides a comprehensive early childhood education program that focuses on early childhood development. The program provides support to migrant families in Northern Colorado, supported by the Migrant Head Start framework. FENWC works with various agencies to identify the needs of migrant families and determines eligibility for Migrant Head Start Children. We individualize programs so that they are responsive to the needs of each family. The following services are available to eligible migrant children and families through FENWC. • Education Services. Teaching staff writes and uses Individual Development Plans (IDP's), for each child. This document is a working document to stimulate social, emotional, motor and intellectual learning experiences; self-reliance, self-esteem and self-confidence are encouraged, thus, they establish the principles for future educational success. • Health Services. Our Health Component works in collaboration with the Colorado Department of Health, local health clinics and private providers to furnish a broad range of medical, dental and mental health activities. We identify children with disabilities, and Migrant Health and local migrant clinics provide services for them. We provide health and nutrition education to the parents to promote sound physical and mental child development. • Family Services/Parent Involvement. Family Services works directly with various social service agencies to obtain needed assistance for families and to provide social services, educational and employment training to parents. This support enables families to improve the quality and condition of their lives. FENWC considers parents an integral part of the total staff. Parent participation is encouraged in the decision-making process of their children's education and the overall operation of the program. We support parents in their role and jointly develop goals for their children. The Family Educational Network of Weld County is committed to providing migrant children and families with a developmentally appropriate, comprehensive program that promotes self-esteem, fosters social-competence, develops independence, and enables children and families to experience future successes. Funding for FENWC comes primarily from Federal Grants, administered by the Department of Health and Human Services/Administration for Children, Youth and Families/Administration of Children and Families/Head Start Bureau/Regions XII and VIII. Other funding sources come from the State of Colorado, passed through local school districts. Children qualify through the following funding sources: The Migrant Head Start and Head Start Programs, Colorado Preschool Program, School District' Disabilities Funds, and families paying 1 for services. During the summer months the Migrant Head Start Children have their own classrooms so that we meet their unique needs. FENWC currently has eleven sites throughout Northern Colorado. OVERVIEW OF PROGRAM DESIGN: The Family Educational Network of Weld County proposes to continue its comprehensive Migrant Head Start Program to provide services to eligible migrant children and families. Our targeted enrollment is 250 children. All centers operate sixty-six hours per week. Children will receive services Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and Saturday from 6:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. We have arranged with local child care providers to provide services for children who may enter the area ahead of schedule or stay longer than most families. During this time, community-service workers will provide the case management of families and ensure that comprehensive Head Start services commence upon the day of enrollment. We will conduct educational home visits with the families once per week. We have decreased the size of the infant and toddler classrooms to comply with the new Head Start Performance Standards. This requires hiring additional staff for one additional infant, and one additional toddler classroom in Greeley. Other issues that have affected our budget are; the loss of USDA meal reimbursements for a fourth meal, the inability of the Colorado Migrant Health Program to help us with health care momentarily, and increasing transportation costs. The Program Options proposed are: PA-23 Extended Day/Extended Week, Monday through Friday (twelve hours per day), Saturday (eight hours), serving infants, toddlers and preschool age children and their families. PA-23 Disabilities Extended Day/Extended Week, Migrant Head Start/Handicapped Services, serving infants, toddlers and preschool age children and their families. The following center information includes the anticipated number of eligible migrant children that we will serve. The number of children that we serve at each site may be higher than the number licensed by the State of Colorado Department of Human Services, Office of Child Care Services. Colorado's migrant population is extremely mobile. We have an open enrollment system and continually replace children, therefore; this allows a higher projection of numbers at each site.

The Family Educational Network of Weld County also encourages active parent involvement in the following manners: 1) Parent Policy Council, 2) Center Committee, 3) in the classroom as paid volunteers or observers, 4) volunteers in the component areas, 5) working with the children at home, 6) taking the lead as the primary educator/caretaker of the child. A major emphasis continues to be parent education. When eligible families are enrolled into the program, they receive an informational packet regarding the program and specific component areas and responsibilities. The packet includes educational, nutritional, mental health and disability educational material. Parents receive educational information that we provide via the Parent Involvement Van, Home Visits, and information sent home with their children. Information available to families includes books and videos that they can check out from the Parent Involvement Van, lending libraries. Area agencies also coordinate visits to migrant families with the Van. FENWC works cooperatively with Weld County's Division of Human Services, Learning Lab and other educational institutions to provide literacy services to the migrant farm workers. We have expanded the coordination of literacy services with the learning lab to include technological (computerized) adult basic educational programs and English as Second Language. Computerized instructional services will be available at all centers. We refer migrant families to appropriate agencies for education, if the computerized instructional services do not meet the needs of the families. The Family Educational Network of Weld County assesses the needs of families and their children and ensures that an individualized program is adopted to meet their particular needs. A Family Needs Assessment and Partnership Agreement are completed with each family by a service 4 coordinator to decide how the Migrant Head Start Program may support the family. Once the assessment and agreement are complete, a plan is written for the family, which takes into consideration the individual needs of the child and family. Goals and objectives are developed with the family's participation. The goal of the Family Partnership Agreement is to move families toward "self-sufficiency." Regular follow-up is provided. To promote a viable, functioning Policy Council, FENWC will conduct trainings at the center levels and with the Parent Involvement Van. After they have trained parents at this level„ parents will select representatives for the Policy Council. We will hold Policy Council meetings monthly, during the summer months (July, August, and September) and in March during the off-season. Quarterly we conduct meetings with the Regional Head Start Program's Policy Council to assure coordination of both programs. The program gives parents room and board, per diem, child care and wage reimbursements, as needed to attend the meetings. The Education Component uses the developmentally appropriate High/Scope as a framework to meet the diverse needs of the children served. We have developed a theme-based curriculum that reflects the needs, interests and culture of the migrant population. Children's primary language is spoken and written in the classroom. English is spoken to the children so that they are exposed and to begin learning English. We design Lesson Plans around three Head Start areas: Education and Health, Parent Involvement, Disabilities Services and Mental Health. Parents are involved in curriculum planning at the Center Committee Meetings to ensure that we meet the individual and cultural needs of the children and families. The Education Component is meeting the literacy goals by sharing children's books at the Center Committee Meetings and through the Parent Involvement Van's lending library. The DDST-2 (Denver-2) is the developmental indicator we use to identify possible delays or disabilities. If the screening pinpoints a possible developmental disability, professionals complete further assessment, by which; the most suitable means to serve a child is determined. After the process is complete, and receiving a professional diagnosis, an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) is written by an interdisciplinary team including the parents. By writing the IEP/IFSP as a team, the child receives the benefit of support in the classroom, and in the home to ensure growth around needs. Follow-up and support for the family are done via home visits, parent/teacher conferences and telephone contacts (if possible). Through this process the family and child receive support for their unique needs. The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) is dedicated to providing quality comprehensive services to children and families. To achieve this goal, FENWC participates in a strong network that we have developed within the communities served. This network offers maximal support and services to migrant children and families. Besides, offering support to families of FENWC, we have developed a system that supports staff in training, personal development and seeded direct services. 5 The Networking Relationships of FENWC include: • A contract with the Colorado Department of Health and Environment, Colorado Migrant Health Program offers complete, consistent and comprehensive health/dental services to children and families. The services include immunizations, physical examinations, medical screenings, well-child care, dental screenings and services, and pharmaceutical needs. • Local migrant health clinics provide on-site preventive and acute health care for children, via our contract with Migrant Health • Contracts are in place with North Range Behavioral Health Center (formerly Weld Mental Health) and Roberta Sullivan (Western Slope). These contracts provide mental health services to children and families and consultative services to program staff. • Improved relationships with local school districts. These relationships include, free land to place our modular centers. There remains a lack of coordination with local education agencies, for children with disabilities. We are currently pursuing contracts with LEA's. • FENWC is involved in many community and state-level advisory boards, coalitions and task forces to advocate for migrant families and their children. The Family Educational Network of Weld County believes that to ensure success we must work with entire families for children to develop self-esteem and be successful in future life endeavors. It is important that our program work with the parents so they understand the important role they have in their child's life, as the primary educator. FENWC works with parents so they may gain confidence to work with their children at home and feel comfortable in a school setting to support their children. We try to enable them to further their own educational and skill levels. 6 OVERVIEW OF COLORADO CROPS AND ACTIVITY (Excerpts from:Colorado Agricultural statistics,1995 preliminary-1994 revised,Colorado Department of Agriculture,and the 1997 FENWC Community Assessment) Approximate Land Area: 66.4 Million Acres Approximate Cropland area: 10.9 Million Acres Approximate Irrigated Area: 3.2 Million Acres Number of Farms and Ranches (1995): 25,000 Land in Farms and Ranches (1995): 32.7 Million Acres Average Size of Farm and Ranch (1995): 1,308 Acres Colorado Farm Income The gross farm income for Colorado's 25,300 farm in operation during 1994 totaled $4.58 billion, down 4 percent from $4.78 billion generated from the 25,500 farms in operation during 1993. Livestock and livestock products continued to be the leading contributors to Colorado's cash receipts with a total value of $2.78 billion in 1994. Receipts from cattle and calves accounted for 55.4 percent of the total cash receipts from all commodities. Receipts from crops totaled $1.25 billion in 1994, representing 31.0 percent of the total. Wheat was the state's second leading contributors to cash receipts, followed by corn. Milk remained the fourth leading contributor to cash receipts. Hay was fifth, potatoes ranked sixth, hogs were seventh, sheep and lambs were eighth, onions were ninth and dry beans were tenth. Cash receipts from the top ten commodities accounted for 90 percent of the total cash receipts from all commodities in 1994. North Eastern Colorado The Northeast area of Colorado includes the counties of Morgan, Logan,Washington, Sedgewick, Phillips and Yuma. Crops requiring farm workers are sugar beets, pickles, beans, potatoes, onions and a green house in Brush. There are two principle migration waves, the first from mid-May into late July, for the sugar beets. Sugar beet acreage is estimated to be the same as last year. However, similar to Weld County there is an increase in automation that will decrease the need for manual labor by approximately 10%. The second migrant impact is from mid-July to September for the potato season, requiring migrant labor through mid-August. The onion harvest is in August. It is estimated that there are approximately 2700 farm workers in the area, with 65 eligible households for the Migrant Head Start Program. The area is experiencing a high influx of solo- males. In the past year 16 active migrant families registered with the employment services. There are most undocumented families in the area, therefore; not registered with the employment services. The undocumented families primarily come from Guatemala. The Department of Education, Migrant Education Program identified 113 eligible Migrant Head Start children. The Colorado Department of Health, Migrant Health Program provided services for 100 migrant children less than five years old. The Family Educational Network of Weld County provides Migrant Head Start Services for approximately thirty children ages six weeks through four years old. The Excel Corporation Packing Plant employs many farm workers in the area and therefore, they do not qualify as migrants under the Migrant Head Start definition. 7 The needs for migrant families in North Eastern Colorado are as follow: 1) A lack of affordable, adequate housing. 2) There are not adequate services for the migrant population. Plan de Salud del Valle opened a health clinic that should have a positive impact in migrant health services. 3) There is a lack of bilingual staff in the service organizations. 4) There is high competition for field work, migrant farm workers are paid low salaries, and working conditions are poor. 5) Child care does not meet the needs of the MSFW. North Central Colorado North Central Colorado consists of the following counties: Weld, Adams, Boulder, and Larimer. This area is very rich agriculturally and the following crops only represent part of the produce from this area: sugar beets, pickles, onions, potatoes, lettuce, spinach, corn, sweet grain, silage, and carrots. The total estimated acreage is 234,570. Of the total 196,000 acres for corn, sweet grain and silage require minimal manual labor. Thirteen-hundred (1300) itinerant migrant farm workers(mostly solo-males)are expected to come into the area for the summer of 1998. The total farm worker population in this area is estimated at 10,500. The Colorado Department of Education, Migrant Education Program identified 459 migrant children. The Colorado Department of Health, Migrant Health Program provided services to 394 migrant children. As is true in North Eastern Colorado, there is an increase of solo-males entering the area for work, and fewer families migrating into the area. The itinerant workers begin arriving late April and leave early October. Most of the migrants arriving in April are males with their families joining them in June. The needs for migrant families in this area are: 1) Housing only one labor camp is scheduled to serve families, the other labor camps will serve solo-males. 2) Medical services are limited as funds are inadequate for the provision of proper staffing, health supplies and follow-up. Local Migrant Health Clinics are inundated with migrant families and can only provide minimal care. The areas of greatest concern are pre and peri-natal care, immunizations of children, long term intervention and pesticide awareness. 3)There is high competition for work, wages are low, and working conditions generally are poor. Western Slope The Western Slope of Colorado is west of the Continental Divide. The following counties are provided Migrant Head Start Services by FENWC: Delta, Mesa and Montrose. The primary crops in the area are, apples, cherries, peaches, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet-corn, lettuce and grapes. Seventy percent (70%) of the tree crops are found in Delta County. The growing season runs from April through October, with the peak season beginning the middle of June and ending mid- September. According to grower surveys, local farm workers are involved in the planting and initial phases of crop production. The mobile-migrants begin arriving into the area in mid-June and stay through the beginning of September. This area is also seeing fewer families migrating into the area. The families arriving in the area tend to settle-out and become active members of community. 8 It is estimated that there are approximately 1300 farm workers in the area, ninety-five migrant families with 150 children. The Colorado Department of Education, Migrant Education Program identified 108 migrant children. The Colorado Department of Health, Migrant Health Program served 108 eligible migrant children. The needs and issues for the migrant families in this area are: 1) High Pregnancy Rates 2) Medical/Dental Care 3) Safe/Sanitary Housing 4) Spouse Abuse 5) Mental Health Services 6) Migrant Child Care 7) Transportation 9 PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS Following is a summary of program accomplishments for the previously funded program year. These achievements have strengthened our program and have enhanced services to the children and families of the Migrant Head Start Program. • We have implemented our Professional Development Program. An average of 12 employees take classes at Aims Community College per quarter. • We have coordinated CDA courses with Aims Community College, so that students pursuing their CDA receive credit for said classes. As a result, the Head Start Bureau, National Office is allowing our program to consider a certificate in Early Childhood Education from Aims the equivalent to a CDA. • Our Management Information System and computerized literacy program is up and running. The following is a brief summary of continued concern. There has been some progress made in these areas; however, we continue to put forth much effort moving forward to eliminate these issues. • The low enrollment level of the program continues to be a concern. In hopes to improve enrollment levels, we began recruitment days earlier. The new eligibility criteria, allowing families to have migratory movement within a twenty-four month period rather than a 12- month time-frame has increased enrollment.The reasons for lower enrollment are; growers continue to recruit solo-males, lack of housing and more families are "settling-out"; therefore, creating a larger local work force. • Although we have made gains in our disability services, it remains difficult to secure needed supoort from the Local Education Agencies. Our program has children living in fourteen different school districts. Not all districts buy into the need to provide services for temporary residents, particularly when the school districts do not receive reimbursement for these children. We are trying to secure arrangements so that the districts will help with identifying disabilities and writing Individual Education Plans/ Individual Family Service Plans for children with (suspected) disabilities. CHALLENGES FOR THE NEXT FUNDING CYCLE: • Due to conflicting schedules with School District 51, in Grand Junction we are forced to move our portable facility. • It is becoming increasingly more difficult to recruit qualified classroom staff. This is statewide issue. 10 These were the three year goals we hope to attain the end of this program year. In June we will be doing our strategic planning for future years. Goal #1: Develop a Management Information System infrastructure and network all sites with the central office, increase our technological capacity to help parents with literacy skills, and secure computers in the toddler and preschool classrooms. Complete Goal#2: Coordinate and integrate activities of the Migrant Head Start Policy Council and the Region VIII Head Start Policy Council better to meet the overall needs of FENWC without losing the integrity of the Migrant Head Start Programs or Region VIII Head Start Programs. Complete Goal #3: Have 80% of our Centers NAEYC Accredited by the year 2000. We have run into snags in the accreditation process for the Migrant Program because of the short program duration. The movement of parents makes it very difficult to get parent surveys' and involvement throughout the process. Therefore, we have been unable to involve the parents in the process. The Education Specialist has been speaking with NAEYC to figure out a way that we can receive the accreditation in a meaningful way for our Migrant Program. Accreditation has not been an issue with the Regional Program and four centers are slated to receive their accreditation this spring. Goal #4: Facilitate communication and coordination between the Migrant Head Start Program and the Regional Program. The communication has dramatically increased between the Migrant and Regional federal staff. An example of this coordination has been the awarding of funding from both programs to facilitate our technological project. FENWC has also been very diligent in communicating with program staff, so that they are aware of issues facing our overall program. The one area that still needs additional coordination is that of the Training and Technical Assistance Network. There have been preliminary discussions, particularly regarding our Quality Improvement Plan; however, since the T/TA system has changed gears, the coordination has been minimal. Another area of concern is Migrant Programs receive training in with Early Head Start, and often the trainings do not address the needs of migrant families and children. Goal#5: (5 year goal)All classroom staff will have a minimum CDA, both Infant/Toddler and Preschool. Out Professional Development Plan has been approved and implemented. 11 PROGRAM NARRATIVE PA 23 DISABILITIES PROGRAM YEAR 1998 The Family Educational Network of Weld (FENWC) continues to engage support from the Colorado Department of Education, in hopes of securing support for disabilities services from all school districts where eligible Migrant Head Start (MHS) children live. We currently have lists of all Child Find Specialists within the fourteen school districts where MHS children reside. We are in the process of completing agreements regarding the evaluation process and service provisions for children suspected with having disabilities. It remains a difficult task to secure services for the migrant population for two primary reasons; 1) There is a severe shortage of bilingual service providers and therapists, 2) School districts do not receive reimbursement for migrant children identified during the summer months, as they typically leave and are not receiving services at the time of the count date. We have hired a Disabilities Services Coordinator, who has helped us in overcoming the existing barriers. They screen children, using the Denver Development Screening Tool - II (DDST-2) within two weeks of enrollment into the program. If any child is suspect of having a disability, we refer them to the local Child Find/Part C Team for an evaluation and recommended services. If the Child Find/Part C Team is unable to evaluate a child, the Disability Services Specialist pulls a team of contracted or volunteer providers to evaluate the child and develop an IEP/IFSP. When children leave the program, a packet of information, including the Individual Education Plan is sent with the family, in hope that services for the child may continue with as little interruption as possible. 12 PROGRAM NARRATIVE PA 20 TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM YEAR 1996 As was true with last year, training and technical assistance will be focused primarily on the temporary staff. The past year FENWC assessed the training needs of these staff members and established a task force to identify strengths and weaknesses of our training program. One weakness we identified was the fact that we have many levels of expertise within our staff and our training needs to be varied enough to meet the needs of all staff, not just the newer, temporary staff. Consequently we have developed training tracks that we will use during the pre and in- service trainings. CDA training continues to be a priority. Currently all classrooms have CDA credentialed staff members; however,we believe that the more staff members trained and certified,the better quality program we have to offer our families and children. As aforementioned, one of our five year goals that all classroom staff has both their Infant/Toddler and Preschool CDA's. We have developed a Professional Development Plan (attached) which focuses primarily on center level staff; however, all staff will be required to pursue professional development activities. 13 Hello
