Early Head Start – Child Care Partnership
The EHS-CCP (Early Head Start-Child Care Parternships) program will enhance and support early learning settings to provide full-day/full-year, seamless and comprehensive services that meet the needs of low income working families and those in school; increase access to high-quality, full-day child care, support the development of infants and toddlers through strong relationship based experiences; and prepare them for the transition into Head Start and preschool.
The EHS-CCP is a unique opportunity which brings together the best of Early Head Start and child care through layering of funding to provide comprehensive and continuous services to low-income infants, toddlers, and their families. The EHS-CCP grants will serve as a learning laboratory for the future of high-quality infant/toddler care.
All infants and toddlers attending an EHS-CCP site will benefit from facilities that are licensed and meet safety requirements. All children in classrooms with EHS-CCP-enrolled children will benefit from low teacher-to-child ratios and class sizes, qualified teachers receiving ongoing supervision and coaching to support implementation of curriculum and responsive caregiving, and broad-scale parent engagement activities. While only enrolled EHS-CCP children will be eligible for direct family-specific benefits such as home visits, health tracking and follow-up, and individualized family support services.
The EHS-CCP brings together the strengths of child care and Early Head Start programs. Child care centers respond to the needs of working families by offering flexible and convenient full-day and full-year services. In addition, child care providers have experience providing care that is strongly grounded in the cultural, linguistic, and social needs of the families and their local communities.
