Kansas and Missouri Early Head Start programs: Kansas City, Kansas, and Sedalia, Missouri

Description:
These case studies provide detailed descriptions of two Early Head Start programs: Project EAGLE, in an urban Kansas community, and the Children's Therapy Center, in a rural Missouri community. Features described include the child care partner recruitment process, partnership agreements, community initiatives supporting those partnerships, technical assistance training, and Child Development Associate (CDA) programs. Partnership successes are identified, such as increased child care access for low-income families and improved support for children with special needs. Challenges are reported in the areas of: quality improvement; coordination of funding streams; communication between families and staff; high teacher turnover rate; additional teacher duties required by the partnerships; and meeting the CDA requirement.
