Welcome to SETA

2023-24 Annual Report

01As the Deputy Director of SETA Children and Family Services, I proudly present the 2023-2024 Annual Report.

For over 43 years, Sacramento Head Start has made a positive impact on the lives of children and families in the communities we serve. Leadership, dedicated staff, the Parent Advisory Committee, Policy Council, and Board members have exhibited a commitment to excellence in child development, school readiness, health, nutrition, mental health, and family support services.

This report will provide program data and analysis regarding Sacramento Head Start’s operational and financial performance, child outcomes, program goals, and plans.

It will highlight areas of amazing accomplishments. We provide high-quality early childhood education to over 4,400 children and families and we continue to work as a community to make a positive impact on our children’s overall development.

We also recognize there have been challenges, but we view these challenges as opportunities for ongoing growth. Our program has developed a robust enrollment plan and implemented innovative outreach approaches to recruit eligible families and qualified staff in partnership with the federal Office of Head Start and the training and technical assistance network. We have strengthened strategies for supervision and interactions to ensure children have the opportunity to grow and prosper in safe and healthy learning environments.

In the new 5-year grant cycle beginning 2024-2025, we remain focused on supporting children, families, and staff for a stronger future, kindergarten, and beyond.

HS/EHS FAMILY OUTCOMES SURVEY (SETA OPERATED PROGRAM) SPRING 2023-2024

The results show a snapshot of the parents’ and guardians’ opinions and experiences in the SETA-Operated Head Start Program (Spring 2024). The Child Care Results (CCR) Family Outcomes Survey was designed to measure parents’ opinions on how much they and their families have benefited from Head Start. The survey is fully aligned with “The Head Start Parent, Family, and Community Engagement Framework”. That framework identifies seven Family Engagement Outcomes.

THE CCR FAMILY OUTCOMES SURVEY MEASURES HEAD START’S IMPACT IN EACH OF THESE OUTCOME AREAS BY PARENTS’ RESPONSES OF “DID NOT NEED HELP”, “NOT HELPFUL”, “SOMEWHAT HELPFUL”, OR “VERY HELPFUL”:
  • Family Well-being
  • Positive Parent-Child Relationships
  • Families as Lifelong Educators
  • Families as Learners
  • Family Engagement in Transitions
  • Family Connections to Peers and Community
  • Families as Advocates and Leaders
