SERVING A VAST FOUR-COUNTY REGION in northern Arizona, NACOG proudly operates Head Start programs that give children from at-risk backgrounds the skills needed to be successful in school and in life. Supporting kids, families and communities on the path to success, Head Start services address the whole child and whole family. Head Start programs focus on school readiness skills for children from three to five years, while Early Head Start (EHS) is dedicated to the healthy development of infants and toddlers including prenatal care. Combining center-based classes with home base options, Head Start/EHS programs are flexibly designed to meet specific individual and community needs. Engaging parents as equal partners with their child’s teacher, these programs also include comprehensive family services and referrals to a larger network of government and community partners.

The strength-based growth and living partnerships experienced in Head Start lay a foundation of guidance and support that continue long after the Head Start experience is over.

A Message from our Director THE 2019-20 ACADEMIC YEAR WAS LIKE NO OTHER in our Head Start history.

With the interruption of a global pandemic, the Fall to Spring progress statistics were impossible to compile. What this report does offer is a rare opportunity to view our achievements from a multi-year perspective. Reviewing the statistics from 2015 through 2019, the impact of Head Start is even more visible—especially in the sheer number of parents who raised their education levels, found jobs, and improved their financial security. The powerful impact of Head Start services in the lives of children, parents, and families ripple out to strengthen the entire community. Within each of our four county profiles are moving personal stories of Head Start’s ability to transform lives and reach across the generations.

When Arizona shut down all educational institutions in March of 2020, our Head Start staff immediately began weekly contact with every family to offer emotional support, resource guidance and referral services and to keep a pulse on issues from food insecurity to mental health. They also reached out to every community partner for collaborative support and created “family packs” and “kids’ activity packs” to meet basic or critical needs and support at-home education. At the same time, Head Start was providing free crisis sessions and support for our own staff members—many of whom were experiencing the same stressful situations as the families they were serving.

As you turn the pages of this very special report, we hope you share our pride in the life-changing work of Head Start and Early Head Start. We want to thank our staff for their tireless efforts in extreme circumstances where they, like so many others, were facing family income losses and a child care crisis. Appreciation goes out to the soul of Head Start, the parents who continue to show up with strength and courage for their children in the face of daunting challenges. More than ever before, we are so grateful for the open-hearted generosity of our community partners and advocates and for the vision of our leaders and governance. In the work of uplifting and strengthening Arizona’s children, families and communities, we are always “in it together.”

Sincerely,

Jennifer Brown Jennifer Brown

MISSION Inspiring Tomorrow’s Future Today serves as a North Star that reminds staff and families of the reason that Head Start exists.

As the driver of program success, the mission keeps everyone clear on the direction of the organization.

VISION Inspiring Change through Opportunity defines the ongoing daily work of Head Start.

From setting objectives and creating plans to coordinating activity, the vision keeps the group focused on goals and outcomes, even in complex or difficult situations.

VALUES Quality, Integrity, Enthusiasm, and Kindness are the essence of the Head Start program. These four core principles or beliefs form the guiding philosophy behind every decision-making process.

• Quality calls for a commitment to be the best of the best • Integrity challenges the staff to be dedicated to their work and true to their word • Enthusiasm invites the staff to approach their work with energetic interest and deep enjoyment • Kindness asks the staff to work together in creating a friendly, generous, considerate atmosphere

MISSION ∞ VISION ∞ VALUES Living, Breathing Guiding Principles WHEN THE NACOG HEAD START administrative team gathered to collaborate on a vision for the future, no one could have predicted the impact that work would have. The result was a fresh, well-defined statement of the organization’s Mission, Vision, and Values that jumped off the written page and lit a fire in hearts and minds. Boldly highlighted and embedded throughout the organization, the power of these principles to inspire and excite Head Start staff even took Head Start Director Jennifer Brown by surprise.

“We knew that everyone in the organization would be able to relate to the Mission as what they do every single day, to the Values as how they do it, and to the Vision as the end goal— our legacy,” she said. “It was the excitement and appreciation on the faces of our staff that was unexpected. Over and over again, they thanked us for taking the values that they live by each day and applying them to the workplace in such bold and meaningful way.”

Even more unexpected was the recruitment strength of NACOG Head Start’s new Mission, Vision, and Values. Quality job seekers are now arriving at the Head Start doorstep because they want to work for an organization that aligns with their own sense of purpose and integrity. Reaching beyond those who are dedicated to early education, these guiding principles are attracting top-tier recruits for administrative and professional positions where corporate opportunities are abundant and far more lucrative. One recent college graduate summed it up with the words, “How could that mission not speak to me?

That’s what I want, that’s what I am about, that’s who I am.”

Preparing Children for a Lifetime of Success HEAD START CHILDREN WHO ARE TRANSITIONING INTO KINDERGARTEN have critical advantages in achieving success in school and in life, from early math and reading skills to confidence, socialization, and emotional resilience. Reaching far beyond early education, Head Start programs address physical and mental health, nutrition and exercise, self-regulation, and special needs. Evidence and research-based curricula support developmental growth in every area including engagement, curiosity, Meets/Exceeds Benchmark Expectations inventiveness, motivation, coordination, communication, Skill Fall Spring self-esteem, and the ability to form positive relationships.

Early Intervention Benefits Everyone EVERY HEAD START/EARLY HEAD START ENROLLEE is screened for developmental, sensory, and behavioral concerns, taking advantage of the critical early intervention window and the potential to fill social-emotional and cognitive gaps. The largest percentage of development delays are speech/language impairments—an area where early intervention often results in complete remediation. With rising special education costs consuming ever larger portions of already strained public school budgets, Head Start services provide a benefit to the entire state.

2015 - 2019 Special Needs/ Disabilities Services

• 817 total children with IEP or IFSP* • 669 preschool children with IEP • 148 EHS children with IFSP * IFSP (Individualized Family Service Plan), IEP (Individualized Education Plan)

Few people understand the value of these services better than Bernice McCabe, who remembers every step of her son’s journey from a toddler struggling with speech to the proud young man who graduated with honors from DePaul University’s College of Computing and Digital Media. In addition to speech delays, the Head Start staff observed social, emotional, and physical balance issues in her small son that needed to be addressed. Working closely with his teachers and support professionals gave Bernice the tools and insight needed to mirror their approach at home and continue to advocate for his progress throughout his academic years. Today, Bernice offers the hope, wisdom, and encouragement of her own experience to the children and families she serves as the Ponderosa Head Start Center Director.

Supporting Families on the Road to Success HEAD START’S MULTI-GENERATIONAL, COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS engage parents as equal partners with their child’s teacher and provide comprehensive family services from crisis intervention to goal-setting, job training, and education. NACOG Head Start fully engages parents through volunteerism, classroom visits, parent committees, and positions on the program’s governing board. Our services help families move their lives forward by meeting real-world needs based on input and feedback from parents, teachers—and the community itself. From 2015 through 2019, NACOG Head Start provided services to 501 homeless families, of which 308 acquired housing. While Head Start strengthens and drives growth in the communities we serve through revenue, employment and vital services, we provide less recognized benefits like health literacy education for parents that slashes unnecessary emergency room costs and missed work time.

Apache County Kindness Rocks!

FOSTERING A LIFELONG LOVE OF LEARNING with activities that combine education and play is a Head Start keystone—especially when the fun involves the entire family.

That’s why every program includes regularly scheduled events that bring together parents, siblings, grandparents and other family members. In the case of the Kindness Rocks family engagement activity at Round Valley Head Start, the shared creativity and joy spilled into the entire community. Center Director Loretta McLaughlin and her staff prepared for the event by involving the children on a hunt for smooth rocks of similar size and shape. After helping the kids paint the rocks in a riot of colors, the staff joined parents in adding an inspirational quote to each one. Had the families just taken their treasures home after the event, everyone would have missed the real fun: The social media frenzy that followed when the staff placed the Kindness Rocks all over town. Photos began popping up everywhere and one resident even started a Facebook page. True to the way kindness multiplies, many of the found treasures were re-hidden and families began making their own at home. “It was especially exciting for our Head Start staff, children and families to see how far such a simple joy can ripple out and keep circulating,” Loretta said.

Family Fun with Dance and Movement

One of the Family Engagement events for Round Valley Head Start was held offsite at a local dance studio operated by a Head Start parent. With a goal of increasing motor skills and enhancing physical development, the studio offered a variety of “stations” that were ideal for small break-out groups. Children, parents, and family members were able to move through the challenges, from hula hoops and yoga to tumbling and a balance beam. After the groups had time to experience the planned activities, the staff brought everyone together for lively music, freeform dancing, and creative movement—including a chance to make each other laugh out loud by acting out the song, “We Are the Dinosaurs”!

Coconino County The Value of Head Start Support in the Darkest of Times ALTHOUGH JANICE NOCKIDENEH HAD BEEN A HEAD START TEACHER since 2002, it wasn’t until her husband suffered a stroke in 2004 that she truly felt the impact of Head Start support for parents and families. “We were suddenly facing a health crisis and financial devastation,” she said. “Head Start was there for us—not only providing a quality early education for our son but the support and encouragement I needed to turn the tide for our family and keep moving through such a difficult time. I had the constant support of coworkers who helped me stay positive, shored up my determination, and kept me from giving up when things looked the darkest. Working as a teacher and later as a family advocate also gave me the benefit of professional development training and community connections. Part of our job at Head Start is researching the network of community resources that are available to assist and support families in need. Head Start taught me how to be a better parent, a better citizen, and a better teacher for my own children. And that active involvement in my children’s education has carried through their entire academic lives.”

Both her son Cullen and daughter Jobrienne are now attending Northern Arizona University on full-tuition scholarships based on academic merit. With a focus on biology and chemistry, Cullen is a junior who spent the summer of 2020 working on a cancer research project for the University of Arizona. Jobrienne, whose career goal is to become a surgeon, graduated from high school with honors in the top 10 percent of her class and entered NAU as a freshman in 2020. “Because of my involvement with Head Start and the deeper community ties it led me into, my children became active volunteers,” Janice said. “They learned great values, a sense of social responsibility, and the rewards of giving. It was Head Start that gave them a love of learning by encouraging confidence, natural curiosity, and a sense of exploration without fear of making mistakes or failing. Head Start has enriched our lives in every way possible.”

Navajo County The Remarkable Results of Early Intervention HER SON AARIK WAS 18 MONTHS OLD when Annette Feldman noticed development delays and sought out options for physical, speech, social, and emotional therapy. When the family moved from New Mexico to Arizona, her renewed efforts led to the Early Head Start home base option. “It was ideal because we had a newborn who could be a part of every activity and our home base visitor was so amazing in guiding me to support Aarik’s progress,” she said. It was the home visitor who encouraged Annette to join the Northern Arizona Child Development Administering Board (NACDAB).

“As I sat in the meetings and learned and listened, I fell in love with NACDAB and the strong voice it gives to parents,” she said. “Our Board members are invested heart and soul.” When Aarik turned three and the family did not qualify for a Head Start slot, Annette campaigned for and won the only position open to her—Board Secretary. A year later, a policy change enabled both of her sons to enter center-based programs. Annette stayed on as Secretary but she also volunteered at the centers, from working in the infant room to buying materials and decorating bulletin boards.

During Aarik’s kindergarten entrance testing, Annette wondered if he would still need special services. Three different therapists said that he was one of the brightest students in the class, excelling in development and speech and beyond his age in all skill levels.

“Aarik would not be where he is today without Head Start—and as his mother, I could never have accomplished this alone,” she said. With her sons in first grade and kindergarten, Annette is directing her passion into a NAVAJO COUNTY INFORMATION Head Start teaching career. In fact, she fast-tracked a two-year certificate into one tough year of hard work and Staff 81 outstanding academic performance to prepare for an upcoming opening. “I cried for joy when I got the job but Navajo County Funding it meant resigning from NACDAB,” she said. “I will never Resources stop pitching the value of leadership and governance $4,382,019 Federal to our parents and how much upper management truly $139,708 State cares. I will always be grateful to the teachers who were $1,096,905 Local there for my son, and I want to be that person for even $5,618,632 Total one other child. I want to make the difference for other children and families that Head Start made for us.”

Yavapai County The Lifelong Positive Impact of Head Start on Families WITH FOUR OF HIS FIVE CHILDREN AS HEAD START ALUMNI, Travis Johnson knows the value of a quality early education that celebrates the role of fathers and engages the entire family.

Family relocations through the years gave him the unique experience of involvement with Head Start and Early Head Start programs at several NACOG locations. His oldest daughter, who is now married with a baby of her own, attended Prescott Valley Center. His oldest son attended Williams Head Start, another child participated in a home base program, and the youngest was enrolled at the Ash Fork Center.

“My involvement with the program grew over time,” Travis said. “In the beginning I was dealing with some health issues but I still attended parent meetings and the family engagement activities that were possible.” It was during his association with the Ash Fork Center that Travis took a deep dive into the program and NACDAB leadership, serving for two years as a parent and one year as a community representative. Having all four of his children in team sports kept him busy coaching and attending games, but he made time to join the Friends of Ash Fork Public Library and now serves as President. Travis began working at Head Start and rose quickly through the ranks to Family Advocate Aide and eventually Family Advocate. By the fourth year he had completed the demanding requirements for a Family Development Credential®, a program that teaches front-line workers how to partner with the family in assessing needs and strengths, setting and meeting goals, and building confidence and self-reliance.

Today, Travis leads Ash Fork Head Start as Center Director—a position that takes advantage of his wealth of experience in working with parents, encouraging family engagement, and serving his community. He loves sharing his own experiences with others and helping them feel a real connection. “I have found that parents are sometimes more willing to open up if you share your own stories,” he said. Although his own children are grown or well on their way, Travis couldn’t help but smile when his daughter announced that she was pregnant with his first grandchild and in the next breath she said, “I can’t wait to sign our baby up for Early Head Start!”
