Book Description
Since its beginning in 1965 as a part of the War on Poverty, Head Start's goal has been to boost the school readiness of low-income children. Based on a 'whole child' model, the program provides comprehensive services that include pre-school education; medical, dental, and mental health care; nutrition services; and efforts to help parents foster their child's development. Head Start services are designed to be responsive to each child's and family's ethnic, cultural, and linguistic heritage. The Congressionally-mandated Head Start Impact Study was conducted across 84 nationally representative grantee/delegate agencies. Approximately 5,000 newly entering 3- and 4-year-old children applying for Head Start were randomly assigned to either a Head Start group that had access to Head Start program services or to a non- Head Start group that could enrol in available community non-Head Start services, selected by their parents. Data collection began in fall 2002 and is scheduled to continue through 2006, following children through the spring of their 1st-grade year. The study quantifies the impact of Head Start separately for 3- and 4-year-old children across child cognitive, social-emotional, and health domains as well as ii on parenting practices. This book is essential reading for those in the education field.

Book Description
Abstract: Following the principle that a good daycare setting has all the qualities of a good home, the realities of operating, budgeting, and fulfilling the legal requirements of a day care center for 3 to 6 year olds are discussed. There are 5 types of day care centers: custodial day care, nursery schools, developmental day care, comprehensive child development programs and compensatory education. Each aims to be an extension of the family and an aid to child development. The necessary indoor and outdoor facilities as well as parent involvement and curriculum planning for these centers are explored. Additionally, the health, psychosocial and nutritional services of day care centers are examined. Finally, program evaluation is covered, and several model curricula, exemplary centers and exemplary networks in areas such as rural Kentucky and Houston are discussed.
