Status of the Home-Based Effort Within Head Start.
Children First, Inc., Washington, DC.
This status report is an attempt to provide a comprehensive picture of Head Start home-based programs which aimed at helping parents provide children with the same kinds of activities and support in their own homes that children would receive in any quality child development center. Data was collected through: (1) Children (1st) First, Inc.'s telephone survey of 56 home-based programs, and (2) 20 site visits (two to three days each) to selected Head Start home-based programs conducted by CFI staff and consultants. Survey findings, as well as insights, conclusions, and recommendations based on these findings and input from national and regional Office of Child Development (OCD) staff members, site visitors, consultants and the staffs of the Home Start Training Centers (HSTC) comprise the report. Appendices include lists of Home Start Training Centers; Head Start site visit consultants; home-based programs visited; and examples of the forms used in the survey. (CM)
