Applicant(s) Name: Early Childhood Coaching and Consultation Program Eagle County Health & Human Services P. O. Box 660 Eagle, CO 81631 Amount of Request: $ 3000. Program Summary: The Early Childhood Coaching and Consultation Program works with licensed childcare centers and the families served by those centers to provide assessment, coaching and consultation in the areas of: > learning environments > parenting skills > social-emotional development > child health needs > access to child and family services via a variety of other funding Children: Individual learning needs of children are determined through assessment of strengths and areas for development. Children struggling with home issues, such as new siblings, or the development of friendships orself-control at school receive help within the classroom. Children in need of early intervention are identified and their families assisted to access services in the community. Parents: Home and school life is coordinated. Parents develop an understanding of usual child development and have the opportunity to acquire skills to support their child's mastery of learning. Parents are involved in the child's experiences in childcare and gain an appreciation of the benefits of transition activities between home and school. Parent workshops explore issues identified by families. Child Care Programs: Early childhood, mental health, public health and other early childhood specialists work in partnership with staff and parents to assess learning needs and opportunities. Coaching occurs in the classroom and in parent meetings. Effectiveness is measured through use of classroom learning environment scales and parent -teacher social-emotional development instruments. The numbers of children identified for special services is also tracked. Participating programs evaluate the program and recommend changes to make it more effective.

APPLICATION FOR PROGRAM FUNDING 1. Describe the program to be funded. A recent Colorado study indicated that one in six children under the age of five demonstrates behavior that is disruptive in the preschool classroom. This program is directed towards improving social-emotional learning environments and relationships for children under the age of five as a preventative effort. It provides early identification of more significant child and family issues and facilitates access to individual services. The program is in response to identified early childhood program development needs and issues. By taking coaching and consultation to the classroom, staff has easy access to information, observation of role models, and opportunities for individualized attention. The program invests in both parents and staff to support children in their social and emotional development. Eagle County HHS administers the program and contracts with Colorado West Mental Health Center for professional services. Agreements with participating early childhood programs are designed around the needs and strengths of each early childhood program. 2. How many Eagle County residents will you serve in this program? What are the demographics of these clients? Provide historical data if available, and projections for the future. Please use an unduplicated headcount -- that is, count each individual or family only once for each year. During the 2002 pilot year, five centers, serving 350 children, participated in the program. In 2003, the program anticipates working with nine early childhood programs and serving 500 children and their families. (See attached information on 2002) 3. Where do your clients reside? Please indicate the residence location of your clients. Year: 2002 Residence of Families is not tracked Location of Child Care grogram: o Gypsum o Eagle o Edwards o Avon o Eagle-Vail o Vail o Minturn/Red Cliff o Roaring Fork Unduplicated Count: 26 children and their families 30 children and their families 130 children and their families. 120 children and their families 44 children and their families 4. Staffing: The Coaching and Consultation team includes six mental health and early childhood professionals, with special training for this project. HHS health consultation, service coordination, administration is provided without cost to the program. 2003U~ited Way of Eagle Rdver Valley Fuuding Appldcadou, page 4 of S 5. Budget: Attached The budget for the program from March-December is $72,288. The January-February 2003 program cost (under the first year contract) was $ 7866. The United Way request of $ 3000 is 4% of the $72,288 budget. United Way dollars will be matched dollar for dollar with a Daniels Fund grant. Dollars are not allocated to individual childcare programs, but the estimated hours to complete work at each program is noted in the budget. 6. Program success: The Coaching Consultation Program will document success by participation of child care programs and parents; child retention; child care provider satisfaction as a result of the program; increased evidence of teamwork in early childhood settings; parent satisfaction and requests for additional services; improvement in ECERS and DECA scores. 7. Funding Partners: The Coaching and Consultation Program Funding for 2003 includes: Daniels Fund $ 30,000 ($10,000 is a challenge grant); Eagle County $ 32,288; Community Grants $ 10,000. Community Funding, through the $10,000 matching grant from Daniels represents 28% of the program budget. Without community funding, 140 children and families would not be served. OTHER: Anticipated Outcomes: Approximately 500 children under the age of five enrolled in nine early childhood programs will be strengthened in their socio-emotional skills. "A solid base of emotional security and social competence enables children to participate fully in learning experiences and form good relationships with teachers and peers...The PreschooUMental Health partnership presents the opportunity to provide intervention that responds to the needs of all the children in the center, not just those with identifiable symptoms of emotional disturbance or those deemed most at risk." 1 Approximately 68% of parents will acquire information on child development and develop skills in fostering positive learning environments at home. "The preschool is a logical place for clinicians to reach out and involve parents in their children's development, and to support them in developing their own coping stratgies."1 An estimated 90 early childhood providers will develop an understanding of the importance of relationships to learning and school readiness. "Early language development grows out of a close, emotionally supportive relationship in which children want to convey their thoughts, ideas, observations and feelings to important others." 1 Participating childcare programs will have objective measures of progress toward quality of care through Environmental Rating and DECA profiling activities. The community system of early childhood services is strengthened by a shared approach to quality services and collaborative efforts to maximize quality improvement strategies. • 2003United Way of Eagle River Valley Funding Application, page S of S 1 -Set for Success: Building a strong foundation for school readiness based on the social-emotional development of young children.
