What is Baby FACES?

For some families, we will ask to come to
your home during a home visit and ask you
to do a play activity with your child. We will
give you $35 for this activity and your child
will get a book as well.

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 2020. 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 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.

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.

Who is conducting Baby FACES?
Baby FACES is sponsored by the
Administration for Children and
Families, the government agency that oversees Early Head Start. None of the information
will ever be connected with your name or
your child’s name. The information will not be
shared with your Early Head Start program.
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.
