A Letter From the YMCA Early Childhood Development Co., LLC Board Chair

Dear Friends,

As chairman of the YMCA/Early Childhood Development Co., LLC’s board, it is with great

pride and pleasure that I share with you the annual report of the YMCA/Early Childhood

Development Co., LLC (ECDC). The Metro Atlanta YMCA ECDC program is one the area’s

largest providers of Head Start. We have had another successful year delivering services

and programs to the families we serve as close as Fulton County and as far as Northe ast

Georgia. In addition to 13 successful years of service delivery, we have also reaped the

reward of being financially sound.

During these 13 years of growth we have gone through four expansions of our services

and delivery areas with our most recent being the Northeast Georgia region which in -

cludes the counties of Barrow, Elbert, Greene, Morgan and Oglethorpe. We have strength -

ened our partnership with our school boards. With two successful Impact Studies we have

shown measurable improvements in our children’s education. We have achieved the goal

of having our Head Start children prepared to enter publ ic school meeting the school

readiness goals.

In addit ion to the growth of our chi ldren, we have seen our families grow as wel l. This

has been done through our center parent committees, policy council, parent/family com -

munity engagement conference, and the Fatherhood Initiative. When parents were asked to

rate their YMCA Head Start program on 17 performance attributes , the programs received

high scores on all attributes from a majority of parents. Program strengths receiving “ex -

cellent” scores from more than 7 out of 10 parents were as fol lows; this is only a sam -

pling.

D P r ov i d i ng a s a fe env i ronment

D Teachers really getting to know their children

D Preparing their children for Pre-K or kindergarten

D Being well-organized in the classroom

D Improving their children’s social skills, behavior and academic skills

As the cha irman of the YMCA/ECDC board , the YMCA Publ i c Pol i cy Committee, and

having been involved for over twenty years with the Metro Atlanta YMCA it is my plea -

sure and honor to offer to you the YMCA/Early Childhood Development Co., LLC’s annual

report.

MISSION

The Early Childhood Development Co., LLC of the Metropolitan Atlanta YMCA is a Head

Start/Early Head Start Family and Community Development Program providing comprehensive

and special services designed to enhance the quality of life for children and families in the

greater Atlanta area.

PHILOSOPHY

Children, families, communities, and staff are unique, with individual needs, strengths, and

resources. Through collaborative efforts, comprehensive high-quality services will build social

competence and economic self-sufficiency resulting in stronger communities.

In addition we believe that:

D Each child is unique and special-different and wonderful.

D Each child’s learning style must be considered in the planning of daily

activities

D Ch i ldren are natura l l earners who learn best through “d iscovery learn ing”

with numerous opportunities for exploration through non-gender specific child

centered activities.

D Children have the right to an education in a safe healthy environment.

D Children learn best in a structured colorful stimulating environment.

D Parents are the most important inf luence on a ch i ld ’ s development.

D The development of a positive self-concept is crucial to life success.

D Teachers should be facilitators of learning offering positive guidance to encourage

creativity, problem solving and critical thinking.

D Children deserve the best qualified staff to model expectations of excellence.

FAMILY INVOLVEMENT and PARENT ENGAGEMENT

CDC Head Start values the parent as the first and

most important teacher of their children. So parents

are involved in every aspect

of our program. Families are empowered through

direct involvement in policy and decision making

that help govern the ECDC Head Start program.

They are our volunteers, our committee and board

members and our social services clients.

Parent engagement is encouraged in every aspect

of Head Start. Parenting education and support

reinforce the concept that parents are empowered

through direct involvement in the policy -making

and decision-making that governs each Head Start

program.

Parent involvement included train the trainer for

Parent Committee elected officers, “Making

Parenting a Pleasure” training, the establishment

of GED center and the awarding of certificates to

parents in recognition of participation in program

activities, volunteerism and committees.

The 2011-2012 school-year reported a program wide

increase in parent engagement activities which

culminated in our 2012 Parent Conference. This

year’s conference attendees represented the

largest number of attendees since our program’s

inception.

This school year parents attended The Parent Training Institute (PTI) which was

developed to offer parents a curriculum of training in subjects such as Money Basics,

Leadership, Parenting, and Handling Stress. Parents were encouraged to complete the

entire institute to receive certificates of completion and PTI Bucks that were used in

the Parent Resource store at the 2012 Annual Parent Conference in April.

Fatherhood

The increase in fatherhood involvement is an ongoing agency goal. In 2010 -2011

ECDC staff uti l ized the National Partnership for Community Leadership (NPCL)

Fatherhood Curr iculum to fac i l i tate a half -day fatherhood conference and also

hosted two fatherhood planning meetings for the launching of Eagle Eye D.A.D.S.

ECDC fathers currently represent our program nationally, on the NHSA’s Parent,

Family and Community Engagement board and locally as our 2011 -2012 Volunteer

of the Year. The increased presence of men, especial ly ECDC fathers, as members

of the Policy Council also pays tribute to the success of our growing fatherhood

initiative.

DISABILITY SERVICES

Each local Head Start program must serve at least 10% of children with document ed

disabil it ies. Al l Head Start children are screened assessed and referred for serv ices

and indiv idual ized p lans. ECDC Head Start has developed interagency agreements

with public schools and service providers to assure that children with disabilities

receive the services, therapies and intervention they need.

ECDC provided services for children with conditions including speech impairments,

learn ing d isabi l i t ies, aut ism and behav ior d isorders. In our effor ts to more

aggressively meet and exceed 10% mandate, ECDC implemented a proact ive,

extens ive recru i tment p lan to help ident i fy more ch i ldren wi th d isab i l i t ies to

include severe disabil it ies. Primary agency partners in these ongoing efforts are

Babies Can’t Wait and the local LEA.

INITIATIVES

Literacy, Health and Fitness

Literacy Initiatives

The Georgia Campaign for Grade Level Reading in Partnership with the Y

The Campa ign for Grade Leve l Read ing i s a nat ional movement des igned to

provide focused and sustained attention on children from birth through age eight,

supporting their early l iteracy development and their ability to become proficient

readers by the end of the third grade. Studies show that at least half of the

educat ional ach ievement gaps between ch i ldren from low income and h igher -

income households exist at the kindergarten entry. Researchers have linked this

achievement gap to dif ferences in the quantity and qual i ty of verbal interact ion

within famil ies. One landmark study found that in their f irst years of l ife, chi ldren

from low-income households hear as many as 30 mil l ion fewer words than children

from higher- income households. This 30 Mi l l ion -Word Gap l imits the development

of a chi ld’s vocabulary. Studies also show tha t a child ’s vocabulary as ear ly as age

3 can predict third grade reading achievement.

Read Right from the Start

With support from the Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation in 2009, the Rollins Center

partnered with Bright from the Start Pre-K Program, the United Way of Metropolitan

Atlanta, Georgia State University and the Hanson Initiative for Language & Literacy at

Massachusetts General Hospital to

implement Read Right from the

Start: Georgia Pre-K Professional

Development Project (hereafter

referred to as Read Right). This

initiative focused on strengthening

and enriching the language and

literacy development of young

children through professional

development, coaching, and

mentoring to Pre-K teachers and

teacher assistants. In order to

evaluate the teacher, classroom,

and child outcomes from the

project, a group of research faculty

at Georgia State University conducted an independent evaluation of the project.

The project initiated in Head Start classrooms at Dean Rusk, Chattahoochee, YMCA

preschool sites and six Atlanta Public School sites. Assessment data is being com piled

by Georgia State and wil l be available in August 2012.

The project is set to expand next school year to an additional 42 classrooms at

traditional and partner sites in Fulton county and Northeast GA. The focus for

2012-2013 is REAL-Time and PAC-Time.

REAL-Time is the acronym for: Read, Explore, Ask and Learn. This is a strategy used

for reading informational text books. The goal is to provide background knowledge,

support comprehension of narratives and prepare children for 3rd/4th grade text

books. PAC-Time is the acronym for: Phonological Awareness, Alphabet Knowledge

and Concept of Print. The goal is to enhance early literacy skills through phonological

awareness activities.

ECDC has conducted its annual self-assessment in accordance with the Performance

Standards requirement. Partic ipants included staff, policy council, board members

and ear ly ch i ldhood educat ion consul tants. The process began with a fu l l day

training and col lect ion of information from key data sources uti l iz ing Monitor ing

Protocol Guides. After f indings and successes were noted, corrective act ion plans

were created, approved and implemented. The Self -Assessment results were also

used in agency planning.

Impact Study

An Impact Study of Head Start was conducted last year. According to the Study,

all evidence points to notable positive impacts on our children and families. This is

despite the economically disadvantaged and “at r isk” condit ions our children and

families are faced with in their day-to-day lives. In addition the Study revealed our

Head Start administrative staff ing and assessment outcomes to be superior to na -

tional and state averages. Insofar as needs, rel iable transportation was highlighted

as one of our most pressing concerns. This concern was also reiterated during the

parent focus group that was conducted during the 2010 on -site monitoring review.
