Description
Summary:The Early Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (Baby FACES) is a descriptive study of Early Head Start programs designed to inform policy and practice at both national and local levels. In 2007, the Office of Planning, Research & Evaluation in the Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, contracted with Mathematica Policy Research and its partners to implement this six-year longitudinal study in 89 Early Head Start programs. Baby FACES followed two cohorts of children through their time in Early Head Start, starting in 2009, the first wave of data collection. The newborn cohort included 194 pregnant mothers and those with newborn children; and the 1-year-old cohort included 782 children who were approximately 1 year old (ranging from 10 to 15 months) at the outset of the study. This Baby FACES report focuses on the second wave of data collection and the children from the 1-year-old cohort (who were 2 in 2010), and presents findings on two broad topics.
