These funds were used to purchase additional cleaning/sanitizing equipment/supplies, upgrade HVAC systems throughout the program to improve filtration, and to operate a summer program for Head Start that included education and meals delivered to each child emolled. FCCDI received a total of $20,246.00 in USDA reimbursements to provide nutritious meals for children in Early Head Start.

This made FCCDI’s total budget for this fiscal year to be $4,044,177.00. Expenditures from each source of funding can be viewed on the Financial Disclosure Form attached.
FCCDI received Head Start funds to provide services to 212 children and families. During this fiscal year we actually provided services to only 171 children due to under emollment because of COVID concerns among families. FCCDI was able to offer both in-person and virtual services to children. Due to COVID, we were only able to provide approximately 62 classroom days for children because of center/classroom closures because of positive cases within our facilities. FCCDI received funds to provide services to 48 children in EHS. We provided services to a total of 54 children and families in the Early Head Start program. The enrollment in EHS remained full all year and only in-person leaning option was provided for the Center based children. Home based services were still offered to the 16 families enrolled in that option. Our organization never achieved full enrollment in our Head Start program. This was due primarily over COVID concerns among families. At no time during the fiscal year did we have less than the required number of children enrolled in the EHS program. According to our latest Community Assessment our program provided services to 68.7% of eligible 4-year-old Head Start children and only 14% of eligible EHS children. Through collaboration with the local BOE and other child development agencies, our combined effort produced servicing 100% of eligible 4-year-old children requesting services. All Pre-K partner programs were under enrolled for the entire school year. Every child that applied, was enrolled.
A financial audit of our program was conducted during the week of October 18th, 2021. We expect no findings as the preliminary reports show and there are no issues with mismanagement of funds. Our program continues to meet or exceed all Performance Standards that govern Head Start and Early Head Start programs as determined by our latest Self-Assessment. A complete copy of our latest Federal Audit, Financial Audit and Self-Assessment can be viewed in our Central Office at 102 Hunter St. Oak Hill, WV.
Medical exams were obtained on over 90% of Head Start children emolled and 100% of Early Head Start children emolled. Of the children needing medical treatment or follow-up services, 100% of children received such treatment/follow-up in both options. A Dental Screening was obtained on over 90% of children emolled in Head Start and 100% in EHS. Of the children obtaining this screening and needing follow-up, 100% received the required treatment/follow-up.
FCCDI provides a wide range of opportunities for parents to be involved with the program. One such area is the Policy Council.Membership of this group is individually voted on at each Center, by the parents of emolled children. This group acts as a vital part of our Management structure of the organization and overall program governance. Their roles consist of approving all funding applications, employment of staff, policies/procedures and program goals. At each center, parents are also encouraged to participate in site activities through parent meetings, parent activity days, volunteer reading and assisting in the development of daily lesson plans. Parents also receive various training throughout the year including CPR/First Aid, resume writing, interviewing skills, college financial aid workshops, weatherization programs and CDL/HOTS training for parents who want to be placed on our employment sub lists.
FCCDI is committed to providing a smooth transition from local programs into EHS/Head Start and from Head Start to the local BOE. We do this by maintaining a transition plan that involves meeting with agencies and BOE personnel and by having children visit each site. We work with children throughout the year by developing goals for children to help them get ready for kindergarten. Classroom instruction is geared toward large group and individualized learning opportunities. Child progress is kept on each child emolled to meet goals.
Children with special needs are monitored by our Mental Health/Disabilities Specialist. This person ensures that children needing additional services are provided the services through one of our many contracted professional providers.
Fayette County Child Development, Inc. is committed to preparing children for public school. We utilize a comprehensive curriculum in all of our classrooms. This curriculum is then tailored to meet children’s individual needs. All children have Individualized Development Plans. These plans allow for individual instruction. Children’s progress in obtaining school readiness goals is monitored using a computer data base. Updates of the child’s progress is given to parents.
FCCDI, has developed Child Outcomes plans for all children emolled. These plans include benchmarks for developmental progression. All areas of the Child Outcomes Plan showed improvement from the beginning of the year to the end. Science and Math areas were particularly targeted and improvement in children’s development in these areas progressed. In addition, FCCDI utilizes 2 separate methods of monitoring our classroom environment. These methods are the ECERS and the CLASS assessments. Both tools used proved that our classrooms are meeting or exceeding facility and classroom learning environment requirements.
