A Snapshot of Quality in Child Care Centers That Partner with Early Head Start Programs: Insights from Baby FACES 2018

Partnerships between Early Head Start (EHS) programs and child care (CC) providers aim to increase access to high-quality, comprehensive services that meet the needs of infants and toddlers from families with low incomes. This brief uses data from The Early Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey 2018 (Baby FACES) to provide a snapshot of quality in partner classrooms—that is, classrooms in child care partner centers that included at least one child enrolled in EHS. These child care partner centers had formal partnerships with EHS programs. This includes, but is not limited to, partnerships supported by EHS-CC Partnership grants.
