| Impact Report | Within the last year, the Lea County Extension Service has provided a variety of training for 114 Childcare Providers in the surrounding area. As a result, the providers have been able to: • Provide educational-type programs in their daycare centers and home based centers for the children of Lea County. • Become knowledgeable of the resources, agencies and individuals available to help them in various situations. • In working with the current agencies, 27% of the providers in the region, have returned to the annual workshop for educational credits towards their license. Providers coming from the workshop are from Lea, Chaves, Roosevelt and Eddy Counties. One hundred four (104) providers attended the 2011 Child Caregivers Workshop. Speakers were recruited from the area to provide 13 workshops for the participants. The presentations were from five of the seven competency areas and included topics like, Special Needs Children, Marketing Your Business, Food Allergies, Infant & Toddler; Literacy; Scheduling & Transitions, Toys, Immunizations, School Age Programming; Physical Activity. An increase in participation was seen this year with only 104 participants registering for the workshop. As in past years, many of the participants were center-based providers. However, the home based providers showed an increased participation with 42% being new comers to the workshop. Generally, many of the home based providers are speak only Spanish, therefore, a separate track of Spanish-only workshops have been made available. In 2011, 32% of the participants attended a Spanish only presentation. A major drop was seen in the Spanish Only participants. |
