ACYF-IM-HS-01-13
 

This attachment to Information Memorandum (IM) ACYF-IM-HS-01-13 describes the critical differences that emerge when Head Start and State child care programs collaborate to provide services. Head Start grantees, their delegates, and State Child Care programs will find listed here the two major barriers to budgeting for partnership and suggested solutions. 

Summary Table on Perceived Barriers

Perceived Barrier

Solution

Widely differing cost per child

Analyze real component costs of program

Make full use of flexibility in Head Start budgeting

Consider cost per child only as a check after developing budget

Cost allocation requirements

Make clear distinction between:

1) Arrangements in which all children are Head Start-eligible and all Performance Standards are met; and

2) Any other arrangement (Cost allocation required only in 2)
