Exploring Head Start Policy

Head Start agencies that provide services to children and families must meet the Head Start Program Performance Standards and the requirements set forth in the Head Start Act of 2007.

Grant Amendments

Post-award grant amendments include changes in scope such as enrollment conversions and reductions which give programs flexibility to adapt to changing needs. This page highlights guidance and resources to assist programs in developing grant amendments.

Pregnancy

Find resources to help early childhood programs serve pregnant women and expectant families.

Nutrition

Good nutrition is an important part of a wellness lifestyle to stay healthy, active, and strong. Health managers and program staff can explore resources to support healthy eating habits and find nutrition assistance information to share with families.

Human Resources

Head Start programs are only as good as their people. Explore resources on this topic to make sure staff members and volunteers have the credentials and competencies needed to provide quality Head Start services.

Federal Monitoring

The Head Start Act requires periodic federal review of all Head Start programs. Learn about federal monitoring and understand all the necessary requirements to prepare for the federal review of your program’s systems and services.

Facilities

A program’s physical environment supports the quality and quantity of the services it provides. Browse facilities resources that help programs create environments that are conducive to learning.

Health Services Management

New and experienced staff will find professional development tools to help keep children safe, healthy, and ready to learn.

Professional Development

Excellence in early childhood education programs is built on a workforce that promotes continuous program improvement.

ERSEA

Eligibility, recruitment, selection, enrollment, and attendance (ERSEA) tasks are some of the most important work performed by Head Start programs.
