If a Family Has More Than One Child Enrolled in the Home-Based Program, is a Home Visit Required for Each Child?


Response:

No. The program provides, at a minimum, one 90-minute home-visit per week for the family. The home visitor and the parents however, must plan together to ensure that each child’s needs are being addressed in on-going efforts. Programs may provide lengthier or additional home-visits as needed to address specific issues and/or to ensure that all of the children are being served. Full text » [PDF, 34.6KB]

This Tip Sheet is not a regulatory document. Its intent is to provide a basis for dialogue, clarification, and problem solving among the Office of Head Start, Regional Offices, T & TA consultants, and grantees.
