Abstract:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is conducting a descriptive study of Early Head Start Programs (Early Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey, or Baby FACES). Baby FACES is a longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of programs and children in two cohorts (perinatal and age 1) that will collect information about programs, services, families, and children. Data for Baby FACES will be annually collected through interviews with parents, teachers, home visitors, and program directors/managers, as well as direct child assessments, videotaped parent child interactions, and observations of the home environment when children are two and three years old. Data collection will also include quality observations of child care center classrooms and home visits conducted by program staff.
