What is Baby FACES?

All the answers you give are private. They
will never be shared with anyone from
Early Head Start. The decision to take
part in the study is yours. However, if
you decide not to be part of Baby FACES
(even though we hope you will), it will
not affect your or your child’s Early Head
Start participation.

Baby FACES is short for the Early Head Start
Family and Child Experiences Survey. This is
a national study to learn more about Early
Head Start and the families it serves. The
current part of this study is taking place in
spring 2018. We hope your family will join
the more than 2,000 families from Early
Head Start programs around the country
to participate in Baby FACES!
What kind of information is
collected?
The Early Head Start Family and Child
Experiences Survey (Baby FACES) is the
largest national study of Early Head Start
ever undertaken. It is designed to gather
information about how the program
works and how it serves enrolled families.
The Office of Head Start and your Early
Head Start program are working hard to
improve services—Baby FACES is helping
us learn how we are doing. To understand
Early Head Start better, the Baby FACES

Who is conducting Baby FACES?
research team collects information in
many different ways. Your family has been
selected and we want to interview you.
We will ask you questions about yourself,
your family, and your experience with
Early Head Start. We will also talk with your
child’s teacher or home visitor.
What will I be asked to do?
You will be interviewed by telephone and
also asked to fill out a short report about
your child. Families who do the interview
and report will receive $25 as a thank you.

Baby FACES is sponsored by the
Administration for Children and
Families, the government agency that
oversees Early Head Start. The work is
being conducted by Mathematica Policy
Research. All staff members working
on Baby FACES have lots of experience
doing research with young children
and their families, and have been fully
trained for this study.
