ERSEA
Eligibility. Recruitment. Selection. Enrollment. Attendance.
Family Service Advocates (FSAs) are responsible for recruitment of Head Start children. Once an application is submitted and entered in the ChildPlus Data System, the system selects the students with the highest points based on the Selection Criteria. FSAs enroll students and track attendance throughout the school year.
Each HS/EHS center has at least one Family Service Advocate.
Program Services
Education
Our Head Start program provides high-quality early education and child development services, including for children with disabilities, which promote children’s cognitive, social, and emotional growth for later success in school.
Parent Involvement
Parents have access to the Parenting Center all-year round. The Parenting Center offers cooking classes, HiSET/GED classes, and other activities to engage parents and their families.
Pregnant Moms
Expectant mothers are served through home visits by an Early Head Start Home Visitor and/or Early Head Start nurse, depending upon the location of the family, the needs of the family, and the situation of the expectant mother.
Health
The Health Content Area ensures each child’s medical and dental requirements are met and that children with health concerns receive Individual Health Plans (IHP).
Mental Health
The Program focuses on a wellness approach to mental health with strong emphasis on reducing risks and assisting Head Start children with developing healthy habits and appropriate social skills.
Disability
All Head Start programs are required to have 10% of enrollment be made available to children with disabilities. Children with disabilities receive an Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
Nutrition
The Nutrition Content Area responsibility is to promote child wellness by providing nutrition services that supplement and complement those of the home and community.
Transportation
Federal Head Start programs are not mandated to provide transportation to its students. However, the CPC Head Start Program has elected to provide this privilege to parents who have no means of providing transportation for their children.
Technology & Communication
We are continuously working to enhance and improve technology and communication with our students, parents, staff and community.
