Head Start/Early Head Start is funded by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF).Tri-County Head Start/Early Head Start is committed to providing high-quality services to the children, their families, and the communities we serve. Integrity, Professionalism, Compassion, and Teamwork are important competencies that are the foundation of TCCA. Head Start/Early Head Start Birth to Five Program is a comprehensive child development program for children and families who meet the age and income criteria. The program is deeply rooted in providing children with medical, dental, mental health, nutritional, and educational services. Tri-County Community Action serves 626 children ages 0-5. The Early Head Start program serves 154 children in a Center Based setting and 40 in a Home Based setting. The Head Start Program serves 94 children in Home Based settings and 338 children in Center Based settings. The programs serve Angelina, Jasper, Newton, Sabine, Shelby, San Augustine, and Tyler Counties. The program also serves 4 expectant mothers through the Home Base program.Head Start takes pride in providing parents with an ongoing source of educational opportunities. Head Start has a successful partnership with the San Augustine Independent School District where we serve 60 Head Start children in 3 ISD classrooms. San Augustine County is one of the poorest counties in Texas and this relationship has increased community involvement and encouraged the local government to enlist services needed by low-families and provide them in their communities. TCCA has also partnered with the Mary Jo Gordon Child Development Center (Buckner) where we serve 34 Early Head Start children. Mary Jo Gordon also provides families with homes on campus, training for young mothers, and resources to assist parents in becoming self-sufficient.Head Start/Early Head Start partners with the Foster Grandparent program to provide student and their families from all locations with learning activities that they can use in the home to reinforce the learning that goes on in classrooms. TCCA partners with Agri-life which works with parents and staff in such things as growing gardens, and other activities that promote a healthy lifestyles such as recipes, budgeting tips, and saving with coupons.Tri-County Head Start partners with local colleges such as Angelina, Stephen F. Austin, and Panola to ensure our staff and parents have the educational opportunities to accomplish their goals. Tri-County is committed to providing excellent educational services to children through working to meet School Readiness goals. Children are assessed 3 times a year and outcomes are monitored, analyzed, and aggregated by the Education Team. Families are kept informed of their childs individual goals and achievements throughout the program year through 2 Home Visits and 2 Parent Conferences that are scheduled for each student. School Readiness and Family Engagement must work closely together to ensure the needs of the entire family are met. This program sets goals for families in seven Outcome areas; Family Well-Being, Positive Parent-Child Relationships, Families as Lifelong Educators, Families as Learners, Family Engagement in Transaction, Family Connections to Peers and Community, and Families as Advocates and Learners. Family Outcomes play a huge role in the success of the child and the ability of the family to move forward once they have completed the Head Start Program. TCCA partners with other social service agencies and area resources to ensure parents and community members know what resources are available. TCCA does this through partnerships, MOUs, and joint community events. The Family Service Advisory meets twice a year to provide opportunities for families, and local mission-minded businesses to come together and share the resources that are available for families in each county. We connect with all the communities in all counties and invite everyone to come together and share their services, criteria, and needs. Parents are also invited so they can get knowledge of any new and existing resources that are available to them.TCCA hosted a virtual Resource Fair which allows us to reach out to all our families and the families in the community that is not in Head Start. This allows us to be able to share information about our services as well as connect them to other resources in their community. TCCAs also partners with school leaders through a School Readiness Leadership Advisory Team which meets twice a year to share information, review data, plan, and set expectations/ outcomes for students for the upcoming school term. We had around 1,100 volunteers for Head Start/ Early Head Start last year.Tri-County is committed to providing excellent educational services through our School Readiness Program and Family Engagement Program. Tri-County Community Action Agency implements coaching with fidelity using the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) as an observation tool that aligns with Head Start Performance Standards. Monitoring of the implementation of the CLASS Tool is a key element that contributes to sustained quality support and training for education staff. Monitoring, mentoring, and coaching will ensure successful outcomes for all children to achieve the school readiness goals that are set. Teaching staff set goals towards professional development as well as utilize training using research-based resources; Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center (ECKLC); myTeachstone, and Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF) to provide children with best practices for learning opportunities. The strategy that is being used to ensure every child achieves the desired outcomes and teachers have a continuous professional development plan is Practice-Based Coaching. All teachers work with the Education Specialist Coach, EHS Mentor, and Center Director to complete assigned tasks through myTeachstone, ECLKC, and the Engaging Interactions and Environments Framework to ensure all teaching staff is successful in preparing their students to become lifelong learners. 2391007 40301 COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (CEAP REGULAR PROGRAM GRANT)During Program Year 2021, Tri-County assisted:Approximately 2,506 households was assisted with utility assistance (electric, gas, and/or propane assistance).

TCCA currently has no unrelated business income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.TCCA has adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examinations by taxing authorities. TCCA has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service. TCCA believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on TCCAs financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Accordingly, TCCA has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at April 30, 2021.TCCA files forms 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction.
