Comprehensive services in home-based child care networks: Meeting the diverse needs of children and families

Description:
COVID-19 has made the need for comprehensive services - long offered through the Head Start and Early Head Start service models - more pressing. Now is the time to use the HBCC structure to scale the effective, two-generational approach embodied in comprehensive service delivery. In this paper, we refer to comprehensive services broadly to define a variety of supports that children, families and providers need in order to thrive, particularly physical and mental health services, nutrition, emotional supports, social and economic support and disabilities services. We outline several examples of comprehensive support programs within the Head Start/Early Head Start program and in other early learning approaches. (author abstract)
