Education Mission The primary outcome of the Napa Solano Head Start educational program is social competence for children. It is the program’s belief that social competence is achieved through a strong and sound developmental approach for three to five year old children. The program includes opportunities for children to work and play individually, in small groups, and in large groups. Although the program is child-centered, child-initiated activities are balanced with teacher-directed activities. Napa Solano Head Start’s educational program is comprehensive and is based on developmentally appropriate practices that are both age-appropriate and individually appropriate. The program is designed to focus on the uniqueness of each child in order to meet his/her individual needs, as well as the educational priorities of the community. It is the expectation that upon leaving the Head Start program, each child will have participated in a challenging, child-centered environment, enriched with opportunities to learn to function effectively for success in school and in everyday life. It is the mission of the education service area of Napa Solano Head Start to promote educational excellence and success for all children, families and staff.

Mental Health Policy Napa Solano Head Start, (NSHS) embraces a vision of wellness. Wellness is a holistic approach to well being that includes social, physical, spiritual, emotional and intellectual aspects. One of our primary objectives is to develop and maintain linkages with the larger community. Partnerships in Head Start are most typically characterized by positive communication and shared commitment and vision. NSHS's intention is to model an understanding of mental health that is informed, inclusive and culturally responsive. Service Delivery Plan Mental Health services at NSHS are based on the belief that child and adult needs should be addressed in a manner that alleviates unnecessary stress and creates avenues for learning to successfully manage life's inevitable challenges. Human interactions at Head Start most frequently seek to instill a sense of confidence. Adults and children are encouraged to participate in experiences that increase their self awareness and afford them opportunities to relate to others in a safe and supportive environment. The mental health area at Head Start reflects a continuum of services that includes prevention, identification, referral and treatment.

The accompanying rationale statements explain the importance of each Program Performance Standard listed. 1304.3(a)(5) Definition. Curriculum means a written plan that includes: (i) The goals for children’s development and learning; (ii) The experiences through which they will achieve these goals; (iii) What staff and parents do to help children achieve these goals; and (iv) The materials needed to support the implementation of the curriculum. The curriculum is consistent with the Head Start Program Performance Standards and is based on sound child development principles about how children grow and learn. Rationale: A philosophy shared by the program and the parents, and a planned, organized, consistently implemented curriculum support child development and education, meet the goals for children’s development and learning, provide experiences to meet such goals, identify the roles of staff members and parents, and identify appropriate materials and equipment.

products articles for Research The High/Scope Head Start Quality Research Center Since 1995, the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation has been a member of the Head Start Quality Research Center (QRC) consortium. Created by the Head Start Bureau, the consortium currently is made up of eight research institutions. In addition to High/Scope, consortium members include Columbia University; the Education Development Center, Inc., in Massachusetts; Quality Counts, Inc., in Georgia; the State University of New York at Stony Brook; the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; the University of Oregon; and the University of South Carolina. Achieving Head Start Effectiveness Through Intensive Curriculum Training To answer this question, the project provides intensive curriculum training for teachers (20 days of training plus up to an additional 10 feedback/discussion sessions) in the High/Scope curriculum framework. The extent to which teachers implement the curriculum after training is measured through systematic observations of classrooms over time. In addition to gathering longitudinal information about Head Start teachers, classrooms, and children, interviews with program administrators and Head Start parents are being conducted.

Return to: ACF Home CORE HOME Ongoing Research FACES Research Update Children and Families (Winter 2003) RESEARCH UPDATE Keeping You Informed About Research Relevant To The Head Start Community The Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES) What are We Learning about Program Quality and Child Development? by Ruth Hubbell McKey (The author represents the FACES study research team) Begun in 1997, FACES is a way to look at the program performance of Head Start and its children over time. It began with a stratified national probability sample of 40 programs and 3,200 children who were followed from the time they entered Head Start at ages 3 or 4 through first grade. In 2000, a second group of 43 different programs and 2,800 children was selected for study. Because data are now available on the 1997 and the 2000 groups of children, we can look at how the program and children are changing over time. Is the quality of Head Start improving? Are children learning more now than just a few years ago? Are they progressing in certain areas of development but not in others? Head Start classroom quality Program and teacher characteristics relating to classroom quality: Curricula: 70 percent of teachers used a single, specific curriculum while just over 20 percent used a combination. The majority used The Creative Curriculum by Teaching Strategies Inc. (39 percent) or the High/Scope curriculum (20 percent), but 41 percent used another curriculum. Nearly 60 percent of teachers received training in their curriculum from their own programs, with 14 percent receiving it from the curricula developers, 10 percent from Head Start Quality Improvement Center, and the remainder from other sources. More than 90 percent of teachers liked their curriculum for a variety of reasons including that it covered multiple domains, was easy use and adapt, involved parents, provided room for teacher creativity, and had adequate learning materials.

The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to him his own..Benjamin Disraeli Early Head Start and Migrant and Seasonal Head Start staff and parents and their community Early Intervention partners bring a vast amount of diverse knowledge and experience to SpecialQuest. The Hilton/Early Head Start Training Program is committed to facilitating learning opportunities, providing a forum to discuss recommended practices, and supporting EHS/MSHS participants as they develop their own program and individual plans. The Hilton/Early Head Start Program has adopted a training approach for this SpecialQuest that starts with reflection upon one's own attitudes, beliefs and practices and moves towards working with others, grounded in a conscious awareness of one's personal issues. This approach repeats itself throughout the SpecialQuest curriculum. Thus, there is a pattern of activities that starts with the individual, considers critical information and/or recommended practice, and then moves to working with families and teams of colleagues. Further, each day starts and ends with a period of team or individual reflection. Several principles of adult learning are particularly important in the design of this curriculum.
