EASTERN OREGON HEAD START
2012-2013 ANNUAL REPORT
Offering dedicated services to Baker and Union Counties since 1968
Dear Community Members,
I want to share with you little about myself and my work at Head Start. I began my career at Head
Start in 1991 as a teacher. I taught for eleven years and then moved into the Education Supervisor
position. I held this position for seven years before becoming the Program Director. I have been in
this position for the past four years.
Over the years I have observed many changes in our Head Start program, but one thing that hasn’t
changed is our commitment to providing high quality comprehensive services to children and
families. With the economic climate being the way it is, our waiting list has increased for families
needing our services. We will have 177 enrolled children in Union and Baker Counties in the 20132014 school year. We were able to save slots for next year even with our sequester cuts.
Our program always sets many goals for ourselves, but last year we began focusing on the
collaboration with school districts and the community to improve “school readiness” for children
transitioning into kindergarten. Although, Eastern Oregon Head Start has always prepared children
for public school, it should be noted that we are meeting the rigorous requirements and continuing
to provide a high quality program.
I would like to thank all of our Community Partners that have supported us and continue to do so!
Sincerely,
Jan Goodrick
Director
Eastern Oregon Head Start

SERVCES FOR OUR CHILDREN
Head Start provides children with activities that help them grow
mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically. The Head Start staff
recognize that parents are the first and most important teachers
of their children. We welcome parent involvement in Head Start
activities, and work as partners with parents to help all children
progress.
Head Start staff members give all children
love, acceptance, understanding, and the
opportunity to learn and experience
success. Head Start children socialize with
others, solve problems, and have other
experiences which help them become selfconfident. The children also improve their
listening and speaking skills, including
specialized services for Dual Language
Learners.
SERVCES FOR OUR CHILDREN
At Head Start, children spend time in stimulating settings where they form good
habits and enjoy playing with toys and working on tasks with classmates.
Children will leave Head Start more prepared for kindergarten, excited about
learning, and ready to succeed.
Head Start children are examined by skilled professionals for any health
problems. Professionals will arrange vision and hearing tests and any needed
immunizations. Head Start offers a nutrition assessment and dental exams as
well. Children with health needs receive follow-up care. Mental, behavioral
health and other services are available for children and families who wish to
receive them.
The family
partnership goal is
based on an area the
family identifies as
needing
improvement such as
fiscal responsibility,
continuing
education,
employment, or
health and nutrition.
