The universal model began in the Fall 2009 with the Pre-K committee
and Head Start Policy Council voting on a universal application to be
used in county based and collaborative sites. This application requests
that parents indicate a preference of either the school based or
collaborative site to ensure that the parent is given an option. Each
March, families attend a recruitment fair to enroll their child in the
PreK programs. Representatives from participating child care are
available to answer any questions about the child care facility.
representatives from the GC HS/PreK enroll the child based upon
the location of PreK sites. Additional days are scheduled at each
school based site to enroll children after the recruitment fair. PreK
collaborative sites are invited to also attend to answer questions.
The Kiddie Fair is also open to any agency interested in answering
questions regarding the services that their agency has to offer GC
PreK children. Recruitment of children for Head Start/PreK occurs
throughout the year, including referrals from area physicians, parents,
WIC, WV Birth to Three, DHHR and other agencies. In the spring
of the year, a county wide Kiddie Fair will be held to register children
for the following school year. This event will be heavily advertised
on local radio and TV, in flyers sent home with children in the county
school system, as well as in flyers at local community agencies,
including those listed above. During the Kiddie Fair, parents will have
the opportunity to meet with staff members to discuss questions or
concerns, and other information about the program.
