OBJECTIVE AND NEED FOR ASSISTANCE
The Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC) is committed to providing low-income
children and families with a developmentally appropriate comprehensive program to promote self-
esteem, social competence and help children reach educational success. For children to develop
high self-esteem and be successful in school it is important that our program work with the parents
so that they understand the important role they have as their children's primary educators. The
Family Educational Network will work with parents so they may gain the confidence to work with
their children at home, feel comfortable in a school setting to support their children, enable them
to further their own educational and skill levels, assist them in finding employment, and provide
or refer out any support services needed. Therefore, it may be stated that the primary objectives
of the Family Educational Network are to provide the following services to Head Start children to
foster a higher degree of social competence: 1) Parent Policy Council, 2) Health Services, 3)
Nutritional Services, 4) Social Services, and 5) Parent Related Services.
The Family Educational Network also encourages active parent involvement in the following
manners: 1) Parent Policy Council, 2) in the classroom as paid volunteers, or observers, 3)

increased from 9% in 1969 to 25% in 1993 and manufacturing personal income has increased
from 12% in 1969 to 27% in 1993. Meanwhile, agricultural personal income has decreased from
22% in 1969 to 8% in 1993.
Weld County has an estimated labor force of over 200,000 people, due to its proximity to other
front range communities. The break down of the work force is as follows; within a 20 mile radius-
64,063, within a 40 mile radius - 261,263.
The major employers in Greeley are: Con Agra Companies, North Colorado Medical Center,Weld
County School District 6, North Colorado Medical Center, Aims Community College, University of
Northern Colorado, Hewlett Packard,Weld County, State of Colorado, City of Greeley, State Farm
Insurance, EFTC Contract Manufacturing, McLane Western, U.S. Government and Wal-Mart

federal or state funding. The classrooms in Greeley and Frederick are primarily Head Start
funded, with some children whose parents pay for early childhood services through the Family
Educational Network of Weld County.
The Family Educational Network of Weld County is subcontracted by three school districts; Weld
County School District RE-1 serving the communities of LaSalle, Gilcrest and Platteville, Weld
County School District RE-3J, serving the areas of Hudson and Keenesburg and Weld County
School District RE-5J in Milliken/Johnstown to deliver educational services for the Colorado
Preschool Program. Our classrooms also include children with disabilities.

The Family Educational Network of Weld County has a site located at Island Grove Village, a
Section VIII housing complex. The intent of this classroom is to enhance community involvement.
The complex houses adult classes for the parents of our children and the adults of the apartment
community. The Employment Services of Weld County is also adding a computer learning lab
at the site which will be easily accessed by parents attending that particular center.
The Family Educational Network of Weld County operates the double-session option as our
families have a variety of needs. With double-sessions we are able to offer our parents a choice
of sessions for their children; therefore, allowing the parent flexibility to pursue
educational/employment opportunities.
III. APPROACH
A. Project Information
The Family Educational Network of Weld County is dedicated to providing quality comprehensive
services to children and families. In order to achieve this goal FENWC shares in a strong network
that has been developed within the community of Weld County to offer maximal support and
services to children and families. As well as offering support to the families of FENWC we have
developed a system which provides support services to staff in the areas of training, personal
development and needed direct services. Staff support services will include, CDA Training,
support from school districts regarding special needs issues, Mental Health Services,opportunities
to enroll in college level courses, and enhanced technical support from component specialists.
We are going to restructure our staff development program so that staff will be encouraged and
supported to pursue advanced educational opportunities.
Networking endeavors of FENWC include establishing stronger working relation ships with the
Weld County School Districts. We have developed a "neighborhood school" concept, ten of
twelve sites are located on elementary school campuses or within the elementary school facility.
Transitional activities are occurring at all sites. FENWC staff have the opportunity to share in the
in-services and training of the school districts, parents have early exposure to the school system
and; therefore, are enabled to assist their child toward a successful educational experience.
Children are successfully transitioned into the public school system, as service delivery is
enhanced by the public school, and special needs children continue receiving services without
interruption. New initiatives will be undertaken with the transitional dollars received by Head Start.
Activities include: A Transition Assessment, Parent Trainings, Staff Training, Consultation in the
areas of Team Building between the Public School System and FENWC, as well as identifying
strategies to work with the Districts to incorporate the High/Scope Framework (DAP) into the
Kindergarten classrooms.

The staff of FENWC is involved in many community organizations and boards which provide direct
and support services for families and children. By this involvement our program is apprised of the
needs of families and the community, and is able to assist families with many of their needs.
Employment and literacy are a great need of Head Start families. Our relationship with the Weld
County Department of Human Services, Employment Services allows service coordinators to
effectively assist families with their employment and literacy needs. A computer learning lab
located in conjunction with Employment Services will allow our families easier access to a literacy
program. It is our intention to improve coordination with the Employment Services of Weld County
to meet the increasing needs of our community and families. If the programs through Employment
Services do not meet the needs of the families, there are numerous resources in the community
that families can be referred to. FENWC has an excellent working relationship with community
agencies.
Following is a synopsis of our three year goal accomplishments:
Goal #1 - 80% of our centers will receive their NAEYC Accreditation.
One center (Dos Rios) was recertified and three additional centers received their NAEYC
Accreditation; Billie Martinez, Madison and Platteville. Four additional centers are slated
for the accreditation process this year (Jefferson, Milliken, Gilcrest and Centennial). The
Education Specialist is a NAEYC. She is well equipped to assist the centers slated for
accreditation this year and the subsequent years. In 2000, the following centers will
receive their accreditation East Memorial, Island Grove Village, and Hudson.
Goal#2-The literacy component of the program will be enhanced by having a"Back-
Pack Reading Program" established in each classroom, and having satellite
computer learning labs for Head Start parents. The computer labs will be
coordinated with the Employment Services of Weld County.
All FENWC Centers will be using the INVEST Learning Program, coordinated with the
Employment Services of Weld County. The classrooms also have computers which are
appropriate children's use. Training has been provided for the teaching staff on how to
use the computers and incoporate them into the classroom environment. Training is
scheduled for staff on the functions and use of the INVEST system. Families may begin
Goal #3- Family Resource rooms will be established at the Dos Rios and Frederick
Centers, as well as at the Division of Human Services. The Resource Centers will
be established in partnership with the Department of Social Services, Family
Preservation Program and the Employment Services of Weld County.
This goal has been completed. We will continue, however, to enhance these rooms.
15
9SaoSO
Goal #4 - Securing computers in the classrooms, for the children.
Funding has been requested from Region VIII and the Migrant Head Start Programs. See
Goal #3.
The following are issues concern with the program and we will continue to work toward resolution
of these situations.
Currently we are struggling with the Greeley/Evans School District #6, regarding services for
children with disabilities. Per state statute school districts are to pay educational providers for
educational services provided for children disabilities in order to include them in the student count.
District #6, is not complying with state law, therefore; we are unable to enter into a contractual
agreement with the District. We however, continue to provide services for children with disabilities
from the District. We have also bee communicating our concerns with the Colorado Department
of Education, for assistance with this situation.
We have also been working with the Policy Councils of our regional and migrant programs, to
encourage them to work more closely, with each other. The current plan of action for the councils
is to have combined quarterly meetings, so that they may learn from one another. This will also
increase their knowledge of the entire program, rather than focussing primarily on the program by
which their children are funded. Administratively this alliance will better support decisions and
program design.
Dental care continues to be a struggle. There are fewer and fewer dentists willing to enter into
contractual agreements due to the low rate our program can afford to pay. Our Health Specialist
continues to work on this issue.

C. Participant Individualized Program
The Family Educational Network of Weld has a many faceted means of assessing the needs of
families and their children to ensure that an individualized program is adopted. To assess the
needs of each family in its entirety, a Family Needs Assessment is done with each family, by a
trained Service Coordinator. The Family Needs Assessment is used to determine how FENWC
may best support the family. Once the assessment is complete a plan is written for the family, to
include; family/parent goals and objectives, employment needs, educational needs. The goal of
the program is to assist families in achieving self-sufficiency and thus, being enabled to support
their children through their educational careers. Follow-up is done on a pre-determined basis, by
the Service Coordinator to assure the family is reaching its goals and to continue nurturing the
family through their successes.
Once children are accepted into the program they are put through a screening process, before
they are classroom enrolled, which includes; the Denver-II, vision, hearing, height and weight,
hematocrit and nutrition. If the screening pinpoints any possible deficiency in a child's
development the child is referred to Child-Find, Interagency Early Childhood Clinic,which consists
of a team of professional volunteers to assess the best possible means to serve a child. The
process includes FENWC staff and the child's parents. After the process is complete, and after
receiving a diagnosis from a professional and Individualized Education Plan (IAP) is written for the
child and if appropriate the family. If a child enters the program with a professional diagnosis the
process is by-passed and an IAP is written immediately. Follow-up with and support for the family
will be done with the family via home visits, parent/teacher conferences and telephone calls.
Through the aforementioned process the family and child will receive maximum support for their
unique and individual needs. FENWC is in the process of increasing coordination with the School
Districts Special Education Programs to receive maximal support for the teaching staff and the
children. Through increased coordinated services a continuum of services for children with
disabilities will be realized.
FENWC also receives funding for and operates a Family Preservation Program, and a child care
training program (Neighbor to Neighbor) funded through the State.
