Project Head Start/Early Head Start 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. TCCA serves 632 children ages 0-5. The Early Head Start program serves 154 children in a center base setting and 40 children in a home base setting. The Head Start program serves 109 children in home base and 323 in Center base. TCCA serves children and families in the following counties; Shelby, San Augustine, Sabine, Jasper, Tyler, Newton, and Angelina. Head Start takes pride in providing parents with an ongoing source of educational opportunities. We have partnered with a variety of health and human service agencies to provide parent education in the areas of health, nutrition, and child development In conjunction with Agra-life we hosted classes on Healthy Meal Planning on a Budget. We are preparing to kick off parenting classes in the spring using the Incredible Years curriculum. The classes will be 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. TCCA has successfully partnered with the San Augustine Independent School District where we serve 60 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. This fall TCCA hosted a Block Party in each of our communities which allowed us to reach over 1,000 families sharing information about our services as well as hosting other community organizations to share potential services. TCCA is committed to providing excellent educational services to children through our School Readiness program. 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. 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. TCCA is committed to providing quality comprehensive services that change the lives of the children and families in rural east Texas. Through collaborations with a variety of organizations we continue to grow and develop innovative programs to support families as they work to overcome poverty and enhance their lives. We continue to strive to make a real impact in the lives of those in the communities that we serve. 2055653 COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMDuring the program year 2016, Tri-County assisted:-Approximately 1,438 households and 2,884 individuals with energy assistance.
