Abstract:
ACF’s Baby FACES study periodically collects nationally representative information about Early Head Start (EHS) programs, their staff, and the families they serve to inform program planning, technical assistance, and enable research. Like Baby FACES 2018, Baby FACES 2020/2022 will collect detailed information about centers, staff, and families through interviews, self-administered questionnaires, observations of classrooms, and administrative data sources. While Baby FACES 2018 took an in-depth look at center-based classrooms, Baby FACES 2020/2022 will focus on how home visits and classrooms support infant–toddler development through responsive relationships. OMB approved the 2009, 2018, and 2020 Baby FACES data collections under this control number (0970-0354). Data collection for Baby FACES 2009 and 2018 is complete. The 2020 schedule for the project was impacted by the COVID19 pandemic and data collection was postponed by two years. This request for Baby FACES 2020/2022 seeks approval to complete data collection as described in the prior approved information collection request under this control number. Data collection for Baby FACES 2020/2022 is scheduled to begin in fall 2021. This is a request for an extension with no changes to the currently approved materials.
