Summary: The Head Start Classroom-based Approaches and Resources for Emotion and Social skill promotion (CARES) project will evaluate program enhancements within Head Start settings serving three- and four-year-old children. This project focuses on identifying the central features of effective programs to provide the information Federal policy makers and Head Start providers will need if they are to increase Head Start's capacity to improve the social and emotional skills and school readiness of preschool-age children. The project is sponsored by the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

FLIERL ADDRESSES UNITED WAY
Peter Flierl, MSW, Director of Philanthropy & Communications, was privileged to speak at the annual meeting of the United Way of Rockland on leveraging United way Community Impact Funds to generate additional funds for the Head Start healthy eating initiative. We were looking to raise at least $51,000 or ten cents per meal to help cover the increasing costs generated by providing healthier meals and snacks to our children, i.e., more than 300,000 meals.
Flierl spoke about using the United Way inspired proposal writing that created greater awareness of the collaboration with Cornell Cooperative Extension for nutrition education in the classroom for children and at each Head Start school for parents. The basic concept was then used successfully to request a $50,000 grant from Rosie's For All Kids Foundation for whole food. That grant is expected to lead to additional grants of $90,000 over the next 3-4 years.
Flierl also noted Head Start of Rockland's need for new funding from the private sector. Often perceived as a behemoth as one of the top 200 employers in Rockland County and with a budget in excess of $10,000,000 annually, the public and business don't understand that the agency lives hand to mouth with operating reserves of about one week's expenses.
Flierl thanked United Way of Rockland for its generous support, noting that the impact is real, that we expect to help children eat healthier and make better lifestyle choices.

VIRTUAL MARCH FOR CHILDREN
Advocates who care for young children will conduct a "Virtual March" on Washington on Tuesday, March 4, 2008 urging Congress to provide icreased funding for Head Start and child care.
Child care and Head Start funding has been essentially flat for 7 years. The minimal increase of $148,000,000 for Head Start barely meets inflation and does nothing to pay for quality improvements in the recent bipartisan reauthorization of the Head Start Act.
Partners for the virtual march are: National Association for the Education of Young Children, National Women's Law Center, Child Welfare league of America, Early Childhood and Education Consortium, National Head Start Association, and Voices for America's Children, among others.
You can "join the march" by calling Nita Lowey at 203-225-6506/225-0546, Eliot Engel at 845-735-1000, or Hilary Clinton at 202-224-4451/202-228-0282.

READ TO YOUR BUNNY - Rockland Parent Child
SPRING INTO READING: “READ TO YOUR BUNNY”
March is Early Childhood Literacy Month at The ROCKLAND PARENT-CHILD CENTER
On March 1st, the Rockland Parent-Child Center, with the support of a grant from the Target Foundation, will be launching their “Spring Into Reading” early childhood literacy project, heralding a month long series of special events and activities designed to promote literacy among the toddlers and pre-schoolers who participate in their “Parents and Toddlers Together” program, as well as children and families from their local community. The following programs will be held during the month of March at the Rockland Parent-Child Center, located at 137 First Avenue in Nyack.
Toddler Literary Lunch Bunch
Storytime, food and refreshments -- Wednesdays in March, 11:30am to 12noon
March 5 “Mice & Beans”*
March 12 “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”*
March 26th “Click, Clack, Moo”*
Spring Into Reading Saturdays
“Read To Your Bunny”* themed stories, arts & crafts, refreshments & give-aways!
March 1, 10:30am to 12noon
March 29, 10:30am to 12noon
*”Read To Your Bunny” By Rosemary Wells. Published By Scholastic Books, 1999.

* “If You Give a Mouse A Cookie” By Laura Joffe Numeroff, Laura Geringer Books, 1985
* “Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type” By Doreen Cronin, Simon & Schuster, 2000
Molly Gibeau-Griffin, Executive Director, said: “Literacy for toddlers is about promoting a child’s self-esteem and helping parents learn about and engage in reading readiness activities. Pre-verbal children cannot express to you how much they take in. It is critical that parents speak and read as much as they can to their youngsters. At RPCC, we believe that children’s earliest experiences with learning set the stage for learning through life. Our Parents and Toddlers Together program has been an integral part of the fabric of our community for over twenty years. Hundreds of families with toddlers have come through our doors seeking advice, support, and guidance in raising their children. We are so happy to be a part of that process for so many young children and their parents and we are grateful to Target for giving us the support we need to help make it all happen.”
“At Target, we are making a real difference every day through our grant-making program,” said Laysha Ward, vice president, community relations, Target. “We’re proud to partner with the Rockland Parent-Child Center as part of our ongoing commitment to give back to the communities where our guests and team members live and work.”
The Rockland Parent-Child Center, located at 137 First Avenue in Nyack, is a family support center that offers a broad range of family support services, including infant/toddler playgroups, parent support groups, educational workshops and support for incarcerated parents. Housed in a cozy Victorian home on a tree-lined street, the Rockland Parent-Child Center has been providing a safe and welcoming gathering place for families from all walks of life for over 20 years.

READING IS FUNDAMENTAL IN JEOPARDY
Reading Is Fundamental is in jeopardy of losing its federal funding, as it is not included in the current FY09 federal budget.
If you would like to do something about continuing the program, log on to www.RIF.org or http://capwiz.com/rif/mailapp/ and let the country know children need these books.
The proposed budget eliminates the Inexpensive Book Distribution program, which is managed by Reading Is Fundamental (RIF). It is authorized under the Elementary & Secondary Education Act, SEC.5451 Inexpensive Book Distribution program for Reading Motivation and is not funded through earmarks. It has been funded by Congress and six Administrations without interuption since 1975.
Unless Congress reinstates funding for this program, RIF will be unable to distribute 16 million books annually to the nation's youngest and most at-risk children. This would be devastating to children here in Rockland and to the other 4.6 million chidren and their families who receive free books and reading encouragement via RIF programs at nearly 20,000 locations throughout the United States.
Head Start of Rockland programs in Haverstraw, Nyack, and Spring Valley serve approximately 411 low income children and their families. Through the RIF program, we have been able to give each child three books. The program brings families into the classroom for RIF events to share the joy of reading and learning with their children. It is an integral part of the education program.

NEED CASH? United Way Tax Prep Can Help
NEED CASH? United Way of Rockland County Kicks Off Its Free
Tax Preparation Program Focused on Creating Assets, Savings and Hope
The United Way of Rockland County kicked off CASH, its free tax preparation program on Monday, January 28 at 10 a.m. at Key Bank in Spring Valley. CASH – Creating Assets, Savings and Hope - provides free tax preparation by IRS-certified volunteers to those who qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), as well as other tax credits that may be available to them, by filing their federal and state tax returns. Partners in the United Way’s CASH initiative -- including the County of Rockland, Haverstraw Center, the IRS, Key Bank, Palisades Federal Credit Union, Temple Beth Torah and The Herman Goldman Foundation – were recognized at the kickoff as well. Participants in last year’s CASH effort will be on hand to provide testimonials about the program.
CASH is one of UWRC’s Community Impact Initiatives aimed at helping Rocklanders meet their basic needs. CASH is focused solely on providing tax preparation assistance to those families with a household income of $40,000 or less a year (or singles making $12,400 or less). EITC tax refunds are often used by Rocklanders to help meet basic needs including car repairs, medical expenses and more.
This is the third year that United Way of Rockland County is spearheading the CASH effort. In 2007, 55 United Way CASH volunteers helped recoup $307,962 in refunds ($184,839 in EITC) for Rocklanders. The United Way’s CASH program underscores its commitment to help Rockland residents protect and meet their basic needs at a time when the gap between take home wages and essential expenses is growing rapidly. Individuals can learn if they are eligible for the CASH program and schedule an appointment at one of three CASH sites in Spring Valley, Nyack or Haverstraw by calling United Way’s 211 helpline.
United Way of Rockland County is a local, independent non-profit dedicated to building a stronger Rockland community. Here in Rockland, UWRC is focused on the most critical issues including protecting and meeting basic needs, nurturing children and youth and enhancing seniors’ independence. For more information, contact Diane Serratore, UWRC Director of Community Impact, at 845-358-8929, ext. 14.
