Child education services:semcac head start is a high quality program serving six counties in southeast minnesota: dodge, fillmore, houston, mower, steele and winona. Head start is family-focused; parents and teachers work together to plan activities that support each child's growth and well-being. Most head start families have incomes at or below the federal poverty level. Children participate in a variety of educational activities that encourage a love of learning and lifelong healthy habits. The children work on their listening and speaking skills. As a result, they learn to get along with others, solve problems, and gain confidence. Children also receive medical and dental care, have healthy meals and snacks, and enjoy creative play in safe settings indoors and outdoors. Children leave head start more prepared for kindergarten, excited about learning and ready to succeed. During the 2012-2013 head start program year, the lives of young children ages birth to 5 were enriched and their families were empowered as shown through the following results:- 367 children from 330 families received quality learning and care.- 236 children were screened for developmental progress.- 222 children transitioned from head start to kindergarten.- 39 children received special education and related support services.- 474 parents learned and exhibited improved parenting skills.- 92.6% of children were at or above the recognized indicators for school readiness.- 215 families received at least one family service (such as housing assistance).- 354 children were enrolled in health insurance coverage by the end of 2013.

Activity 3

Weatherization: semcac's weatherization assistance program provides energy conservation home improvements to reduce energy consumption costs. Each home is inspected before and after work is done in order to ensure that homes are more energy efficient upon project completion. Homeowners are made aware of all areas of the home on which work will be completed. Improvements may include exterior wall and attic insulation, air infiltration and bypass sealing, and the testing, repair or replacement of the home's mechanical systems to ensure efficiency and safety. The weatherization assistance program also provides (1) education to consumers regarding home energy efficiency and safety, (2) energy audits to evaluate home energy usage, (3) conservation improvement programs in collaboration with local utilities and fuel suppliers. Homeowners and renters who apply and are eligible for the energy assistance program are automatically screened for participation in the weatherization assistance program. Priority is given to households with at least one senior citizen, individuals with a disability or a child, or to households with the highest heating costs. In fiscal year 2013, weatherization improved the energy efficiency of people's homes and reduced their energy consumption as shown through the following results:- 176 households received energy audits, weatherization updates and energy conservation education, affecting approximately 440 peopl.- 194 households received energy-related repairs such as furnace replacement.
