Early Childhood Services (ECS) offers child enrichment, education, health, nutritional and developmental services as well as parent education and involvement opportunities. In 2007 a program called Fathers and Families was successfully implemented and provided enrichment activities such as fishing and camping trips for ECS children, fathers and families.
In Tuolumne County, ATCAA offers half day Head Start preschool and State Preschool programs to prepare children for kindergarten, and full day childcare at low or no cost for parents who are working, going to school, seeking employment, or have a referral from Child Welfare. Preschool children may be enrolled at the Head Start Center Based sites or in a Home-Based Program. In Amador County, we offer a full day program at our Jackson site and a morning and afternoon program in Ione. About 250 children are served each year in both counties.
We offer many opportunities for parents to become involved in our program. The Parent Policy Council (PPC) and the ATCAA Board of Directors work closely in a joint governance model to assure the Early Childhood Services Program is serving the children in our communities in the best possible ways. ECS collaborates with other agencies such as First Five Commission; Child Abuse Prevention Council; Nutrition Fitness Council; Connecting Hands Nutrition Group; Parent Advisory Group; Caring Connections; and Tuolumne ECS Health Advisory Board for fundraising, training, and community outreach. Funding is provided by the Federal Government and California Department of Education as well as fundraisers, grants, and donations from local organizations, businesses, and foundations.
