The program is in collaboration with Torrance County Head Start and will draw from Head Start children & kindergarten ss at local elementary school. This small pilot program will select 12 children and includes family (parents, caregivers, some sibs) for 9 hours of instruction/activities a week. I have the same questions as Nancy. The teachers and HeadStart staff already have lists and a clear idea of who to invite, and are champing at the bit to get started. We still need to evaluate & assess adults, select participants, work on program design, and rough out a tentative schedule . If there are (and there probably will be) more eligible children than slots available, we will look at the adults and the rest of the family to make a final decision. New to this, I am desperately seeking input and ask other coordinators to share insights on or off list.
