Currently, the center has 2 classrooms with children receiving Early Intervention, and a Special Education teacher The home base program has 5 FSW (and 2 part time FSW) each working with 10 or 12 children. Currently there are 8 prenatal families included in this number. Recently, Schenectady City Schools superintendent reported that there are 52 pregnant teens in the high school currently. One program issue has been that of staffing the classrooms. Several staff have been out on disability and substitutes have had to be hired to function as teachers. It has been very difficult to find substitutes with an Early Childhood, particulary Infant Toddler focused. The community continues to be supportive of Parsons Early Head Start and have participated in training collaborations, and transition planning. Parsons EHS has been working with the local city School District, the local Community Action Agency that provides HS servfices, and the local Resources and Referral Agency to ensure that all the EHS and HS children are prepared to enter and succeed in school. School Readiness has been a focus of the program for several years. The program spent down the federally approved carryover which was completed in August and September. This included an upgrade to the playground, replacement of supplies and installation of storage closet for strollers.
