APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS A. PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Bayo Vista Child & Family Center, Inc. located at 3733 San Pablo Dam Road, EI Sobrante presently serves 149 children in a center based four day option. The geographical area of competition is California. Our agency has a contract with the Grantee, Contra Costa County, to serve children in the northwest portion of the county. This area includes the cities and communities of Rodeo, Crockett, Pinole, Hercules, Tara Hills, Montalvin, and EI Sobrante. Our proposal is to serve 24 children in the homes of family child care providers. The total ongoing annual federal funds requested is $203,517. The communities and cities that the homes will be located in are Rodeo, Hercules, Pinole, and EI Sobrante. We serve a large geographic area in the northwest portion of Contra Costa County and the proposed location of homes of family care providers will ensure that providers are located in the communities we serve. The category of application is Priority I. This proposal will collaborate with family care providers to provide full day/full year services to Head Start eligible families who are employed, entering the work place, or participating in Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) - related education, training, or community service activities. The proposal provides services to 24 Head Start - eligible children and will fully meet the Head Start Performance Standards. The homes of all providers that our agency contracts with will be licensed by the State of California. One of the main features of this proposal is that children will be provided Head Start services in one setting rather than move children between program settings each day. Head Start staff, parents, and family care providers will be involved in providing a comprehensive array of services in the following component areas: ♦ Education ♦ Mental Health ♦ Health ♦ Nutrition ♦ Disabilities ♦ Parent Involvement ♦ Social Services Bayo Vista's 1997 Expansion Grant /05199701 BV- 10 CONTRA COSTA COUNTY HEAD START 1997 EXPANSION GRANT ' B. OBJECTIVES AND NEED FOR ASSISTANCE Data from the community needs assessment indicate that two of the communities in our service area have poverty level rates as follows; ♦ Montalvin Manor, San Pablo- 19% of residents living below the poverty level. ♦ Rodeo -9% of residents living below the poverty level. Data from the Association of Bay Area Governments has made statistics available that indicate approximately 65% of preschool age children living below poverty are not being served by Head Start or other child development programs. Data and feedback from family needs assessment and interviews indicate that Welfare Reform and employment issues are major concerns for Bayo Vista families. Most of our parents express the need for full-day, year-round services. Parents also indicate the need for these services in the communities in which they live. Public transportation is a major issue in our service area, and two- three transfers on public transportation may be necessary to reach health, social services and job training centers. Data from our 1995 PIR indicate that the following languages are spoken by families enrolled in our Bayo Vista Head Start program. English -79.68% Spanish - 18.72% Asian - 1.60% Our agency has contacted staff at the West County School District and John Swett School District regarding the estimated number of children with disabilities four years or younger. We have requested information that included types of disabilities, services, and resources provided to these children. To date, we have not received this data. The YMCA Child Development Program in Rodeo, which is the only subsidized program in our service area serving Head Start eligible children has slots for 40 low income preschool children in all day care. Their waiting list is approximately 200 families. There are licensed family child care providers in the various communities and cities in our service area. One of the major focuses of this expansion will be to provide training to the providers so that the Head Start children and families will be provided all the requirements of the Performance Standards. Our plan is to collaborate with other community institutions to meet this goal. Some of these institutions or agencies will include the local community college, Children's Council Providers Bayo Vista's 1997 Expansion Grant 105199701 BV- 11 First Baptist Church Head Start 1 1997 Head Start Expansion 1 PROJECT SUM AR VABSTRA CT Delegate Agency Name First Baptist Chinch Head Start :55 Castlewood Drive, Pittsburg, CA 94565 GeographicalArea: California Number of Additional Children.:60 children Annual Federal:Funds. $4914593.00 Community: Pittsburg and:Bay Point Communities.& Contra Costa County Category of Application: Priority I Overview of key features of the proposed strategy: Under the expansion grant, First Baptist Church Head Start (FBCHS) proposes to offer full-day/full-year services to an additional 60 children (ages 3 - pre-kindergarten) and their families; 40 slots in center-based and 20 slots in family child care homes. According to our most recent Community Needs Assessment and parent questionnaires, additional subsidized full-day and full-year services are desperately needed for the low-income families of our Pittsburg and Bay Point communities. FBCHS plans to work in partnership with the Child Development Division of Contra Costa County to operate a State Preschool program back to-back with current Head Start slots resulting in 40 full-day/full-year slots. In addition, we are proposing to expand by 40 more Head Start slots, totaling 80 children and their families receiving full-day/full-year center-based services. Currently, we have the space available at our largest center, Kid's Castle. Upon grant approval, 4 local Family Child Care Providers are eager and have submitted letters agreeing to enter into a contractual partnership arrangement with FBCHS to operate the full-day/full-year option in their homes. They will each provide 5 income eligible children and their families with a comprehensive Head Start program based on the revised Program Performance Standards. In all, if approved, FBCHS will serve the full-day, full-year option to a total of 100 (80 center-based, 20 FCC) Head Start eligible children and their families.
