The Early Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey, or Baby FACES, is a longitudinal descriptive study of Early Head Start that captures family- and child-level information in addition to program-level characteristics. This first report defines Head Start features and characteristics, program services and delivery, characteristics of Early Head Start families, characteristics of special populations and subgroups, and the psychometric properties of the survey measures.
