Head Start 2008 State Fact Sheets

CLASP has created state fact sheets analyzing Head Start Program Information Report (PIR) data for 2008, which all grantees are required to report annually to the federal government. Each profile includes all Head Start programs in the state: Early Head Start, Head Start preschool, American Indian and Alaskan Native Head Start, and Migrant/Seasonal Head Start. More specifically, the information includes data on participants, families, staff, and programs. Go to CLASP's In the States to read the fact sheet for your state, or view the national fact sheet.

State Examples from Charting Progress for Babies in Child Care

CLASP recently updated its Charting Progress for Babies in Child Care project to include a profile of the California Child Care Initiative Project, a project that works to increase the quantity of quality child care options by recruiting, training, and retaining licensed family child care (FCC) home providers. The project began in the mid 1980s in response to the shortage of quality child care providers in California, including infant/toddler care. Charting Progress for Babies in Child Care profiles state examples of specific policy initiatives to improve child care for infants and toddlers. State examples include links to relevant legislation and regulations, a description of how the state developed and implemented the policy, and any cost data and evaluations or other data.
