Baby FACES is a longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of programs and children in two cohorts (perinatal and age 1) that will collect information about programs, services, families, and children. Data for Baby FACES will be annually collected through interviews with parents, teachers, home visitors, and program directors/managers, as well as direct child assessments, videotaped parent child interactions, and observations of the home environment when children Total burden hours are two and three years old. Data collection will also include quality observations of child care center classrooms and home visits conducted by program staff. Data will be collected on a sample of approximately 2,000 children and families selected at random from 90 Early Head Start programs. Over the life of the project, Baby FACES will involve four waves of data collection, ending when the second cohort of children (perinatal cohort) reaches 36 months of age. This information collection request covers the first three years of data collection.

descriptive study of Early Head Start Programs (Early Head Start Family 
and Child Experiences Survey, or Baby FACES). Baby FACES is a 
longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of programs 
and children in two cohorts (perinatal and age 1) that will collect 
information about programs, services, families, and children. Data for 
Baby FACES will be annually collected through interviews with parents, 
teachers, home visitors, and program directors/managers, as well as 
direct child assessments, videotaped parent child interactions, and 
observations of the home environment when children are two and three 
years old. Data collection will also include quality observations of 
child care center classrooms and home visits conducted by program 
staff.
    Data will be collected on a sample of approximately 2,000 children
