Description
The Office of Head Start has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) due July 2009, for the expansion of Early Head Start throughout the nation, using the additional funding available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In response to the RFP, First 5 California, in partnership with WestEd Center for Child & Family Studies, the California Head Start Association, and Preschool California conducted two webinars to assist Head Start/Early Head Start grantees, school districts, and community based organizations in thinking about their capacity to effectively serve infants and toddlers.
This webinar will continue the discussion from Early Head Start: Providing a Quality Comprehensive Program for Infants, Toddlers and Their Families, Part I. Kay Wernert, Director of Marin Head Start; Cheryl Williams-Jackson, Instructor in the Child Development Department, Modesto Junior College; and Pamm Shaw, Executive Director of the Berkeley-Albany YMCA Early Childhood Services Branch, will further support participants in assessing whether or not applying for Early Head Start funds is appropriate for their agency. Program and fiscal blending, including successful blended models, will be discussed. In order to make the most of this webinar, it is highly recommended that participants either join the live webinar of Part I or view the archive.

Early Childhood Education Initiatives for Raising Program Quality
"This event was pertinent to the EHS expansion planning process. Hearing is often much more helpful than just reading. The pointers of what to watch out for were very helpful. I also don't feel so alone in navigating the complexities of EHS."

Nurturing the Nurturers: The Importance of Sound Relationships in Early Childhood Intervention
Sound relationships are the essence of Marin City Families First, an early-intervention model designed by WestEd’s Center for Child and Family Studies to ensure the health and well-being of children in low-income communities. The report describes how home visitors support client families and how, in turn, home visitors receive support from the program supervisor. A case study illustrates how these supportive relationships play out with one family.
