Abstract:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval to collect descriptive information for the Early Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey 2018 (Baby FACES 2018). The goal of this information collection is to provide updated nationally representative data on Early Head Start (EHS) programs, staff, and families to guide program planning, technical assistance, and research. The data collection for this request will be in 2018 (upon OMB approval of the request). We anticipate another information collection with a new cross-sectional sample of EHS programs in 2020 (Baby FACES 2020); however, we expect to focus on different research areas for that collection. Therefore, this request is for data collection that will occur in 2018; we will submit a separate request for the information collection for 2020. The overarching purpose of the Baby FACES studies is to provide knowledge about EHS children and families, and the EHS programs and staff who serve them. The Baby FACES collection of information on EHS programs extends the work of the Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES), which has a similar purpose for Head Start programs. The ongoing series of Baby FACES data collections is aimed at maintaining up-to-date core information on EHS over time while also focusing on different areas of interest. The Baby FACES studies began with Baby FACES 2009. That was a longitudinal descriptive study that followed children and families through participation in the program and focused on whether child and family wellbeing and outcomes changed over time. Baby FACES 2018 and future requests have been redesigned to provide cross-sectional descriptive information and a point in time picture of EHS across all participants, with a particular focus on understanding the processes in EHS core services (classrooms and home visits) that support infant and toddler development; namely, nurturing relationships between children and caregivers. With this new focus, Baby FACES 2018 will take a more in depth look at classrooms while Baby FACES 2020 will take a more in depth look at home visiting.
