Key Findings

  • The data tables show children’s characteristics, families’ background, and home environments; children’s social-emotional skills; children’s health and disability status; children’s classroom, center, and program cultural and language environment; children’s classroom and teacher characteristics; children’s center and program characteristics; children’s center and program response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The data tables provide the above information for all Region XI Head Start children, regardless of whether they are American Indian or Alaska Native.

The report provides key information on the study design for the American Indian and Alaska Native Family and Child Experiences Survey (AIAN FACES) 2019 and includes tables that describe the children enrolled in Region XI Head Start programs in fall 2019 who were still enrolled in spring 2020; their families’ backgrounds and home environments; the characteristics of their classrooms, centers, and programs; and their programs’ and centers’ responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The report also describes the AIAN FACES 2019 study methodology, sample, and analytic methods.
