The program also served 4 expectant mothers through the home base program.Head Start takes pride in providing parents with an ongoing source of educational opportunities.

Best Living Texas which is a part of First Start Program that is a 4 week program which works with parents in such things as growing gardens and other activities such as Healthy Life Styles recipes, budgeting and saving with coupons. In conjunction with Agra-life we hosted classes on Healthy Meal Planning on a Budget. We have parenting classes monthly using the Incredible Years curriculum. The classes are open to the HS/EHS parents as well as the community. In addition, TCCA is partnering with Superior Health Care to host community wide immunization clinics throughout our service area, we have also partnered with Aurora when we have our clinics at the different sites. TCCA has successfully partnered with the San Augustine Independent School District where we serve 80 children in four ISD classrooms. San Augustine 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 income families. TCCA has also partnered with Mary Jo Gordon Center where we serve 34 Early Head Start children. Mary Jo Gordon Center also provides families with homes on campus, training for young mothers, resources to assist parents in becoming self-sufficient, and after care programs for foster children. TCCA partners with local colleges, such as, Angelina, Stephen F. Austin and Panola to ensure staff and parents have the educational opportunities to accomplish their goals. TCCA works with these colleges to place interns within our program so that they can experience quality child development services in the everyday setting. TCCA has recently added nursing and social services interns to our program to provide additional support to our children and families. 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. TCCA hosted a Resource Fair in October in each of one of our counties which allowed us to reach over 1,500 families sharing information about our services as well as connecting families to resources that might be a potential service. TCCA is committed to providing excellent educational services to children through our School Readiness goals. This year the program implemented Creative Curriculum to promote school readiness while helping children develop critical thinking skills and problem solving, while introducing the necessary readiness skills to promote future educational success. Children are assessed and followed through their achievements and outcomes are monitored three times per year. Families are kept informed of their childs individual goals and achievements throughout the program year. The assessments are used to develop individual teaching strategies geared to the success of each child. This ties in very closely with our Family Engagement Program. 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 the Community, and Families as Advocates and Leaders. Family outcomes play a huge role in the success of the child and the ability of the family to move forward once they complete the program.
