This guide provides ideas and procedures to help agencies in providing services to children and families through the home-based program option of Head Start. It is designed to assist program administrators who are beginning Head Start Home-Based programs for the first time as well as those seeking to strengthen existing programs. The chapters are: (1) "Planning for the Delivery of Services," including home visits, community outreach, meeting home-based requirements, staffing, and budgeting; (2) "Program Implementation," describing the activities of the director, home visitors, and supervisor along with aspects of group socialization such as facilities, transportation, environment, appropriate practice, and parent participation; and (3) "Program Review and Monitoring." Appendices include sample job descriptions, sample forms, and a listing of community and training resources. (BGC)
