The update details new childcare partnership slots, programs for pregnant teens, conversions from Head Start slots, and planned enrollment to add home- and center-based capacity. It also features the “Feed the Need” food drive partnership between the Kern County Fair and CAPK Food Bank, encouraging donations of canned food with free fair admission and emphasizing local efforts to address food insecurity.","The CAPK Times  \nSummer/Fall  \nBAKERSFIELD, CA 93309  \nFrom Executive Director Jeremy Tobias  \nCAPK: Meeting Early Childhood Development Needs with Strong Emphasis on Early Head Start  \nThe start of the new school year is always exciting at CAPK’s Head Start/State Child Development Division. With close to four dozen centers serving some 2,600 children in Kern, and a budding venture designed to serve an additional 364 children in San Joaquin County, our program naturally grows and evolves to meet the needs of underserved communities locally and farther afield.  \nAs more and more elementary schools implement Transitional Kindergarten for children ages 3 to 5—the age of children in CAPK’s regular Head Start (HS) Program—we are focusing more of our efforts on delivering Early Head Start (EHS) services to ensure that a greater number of infants/toddlers ages 0 to 3 receive quality education and care to prepare them for an “Early Head Start” toward success in life.  \nOur Head Start/State Child Development Division Director Yolanda Gonzales reports the following exciting new developments this school year in Early Head Start, which demands a higher level of care, labor and cost than regular Head Start:  \nKern Early Head Start   \n• 40 new slots at the Early Head Start Childcare Partnership between CAPK and Bakersfield College’s Early Child Development Center, specifically designed to serve the infants/toddlers of students enrolled at BC;  \n• 16 new slots at the Kelly F. Blanton Student Education Center of the Kern County Superintendent of Schools, to serve pregnant teens and their infants/toddlers, with a strong emphasis on parenting classes;  \n• 16 new EHS slots converted from HS slots at our Primeros Pasos HS/EHS Center in Arvin; and  \n• 16 new EHS slots converted from HS slots at our Stine HS/EHS Center in Bakersfield.  \nSan Joaquin Early Head Start  \n• 364 new home-and center-based slots to be fully enrolled by the end of September in the cities of Lodi, Manteca,  \nStockton and Tracy. CAPK’s staff headcount will increase by some 100 new employees along with this effort. (More information on the San Joaquin EHS Program will follow in a future issue of The CAPK Times.)  \nBut we haven’t at all forgotten about our regular Head Start Program for children 3 to 5: Our new Fairfax Head Start Center on the campus of Fairfax Junior High School, is scheduled to open later this fall following certification. It will serve 64 pre-kindergarten HS children in the high-need community of East Bakersfield.  \nStay tuned for more exciting news on the growth of our Head Start/State Child Development Division. In the meantime, I invite you to look at all the other exciting happenings at CAPK this summer/fall in the pages that follow.  \nFeed the Need – A Great Partnership between the Kern County Fair and the CAPK Food Bank  \nA fun discovery moment happened recently when we were preparing to film a PSA at the Kern County Fair about the upcoming Feed the Need Food Drive to benefit the CAPK Food Bank (see photos below and the official flyer on the following page) .  \nFair Commercial Exhibits & Concessions Supervisor Jeannie Burton (at right) pulled out a framed early picture of the Fair’s mascot, KC the Bull, whom she attributes to an artist with The Walt Disney Company sometime in the 1950s. The smiling KC the Bull was four-footed then, truer to his taurine nature. Well, he has evolved into the two-legged KC of today, who wears jeans, boots, a cowboy hat, sunglasses, gloves, and now sports somewhat of a beach-going look thanks to his Hawaiian shirt.  \nAny way you picture him, KC the Bull is loved by fairgoers—and that goes for us here at CAPK, too, where we truly appreciate the Kern County Fair’s great partnership. On Tuesday, Sept. 29, the Kern County Fair will not only meet the entertainment and educational needs of thousands offairgoers, but with your help, it will also help Feed the Need of hungry  \nresidents throughout Kern County.
