End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This information collection is to provide nationally representative data on Early Head Start (EHS) programs, centers, classrooms, staff, and families to guide program planning, technical assistance, and research. The proposed data collection builds upon a prior round of the study conducted in 2018 (Baby FACES 2018; OMB 0970-0354) that obtained information on EHS programs at a point in time to better understand how program processes support relationships (e.g., between home visitors and parents, between parents and children, and between teachers and children) which are hypothesized to lead to improved child and family outcomes. Baby FACES 2020 has the same goals as Baby FACES 2018, but while the 2018 study focused on classroom-based relationships, the current study will take a closer look at home visiting processes. A new addition for this round is a measure of parent-child interaction which will allow exploration of hypothesized associations between home visitor-parent relationships and parent-child relationships. All other instruments are updates of those approved for the last round in 2018.
Respondents: Early Head Start program directors, child care center directors, teachers and home visitors, and parents of enrolled children.
