This factsheet uses information reported through the Head Start Program Information Report (PIR) to describe Early Head Start programs, participants, families, and staff during the 2015-2016 program year. CLASP’s factsheets serve as a unique resource for early childhood policymakers, researchers, and advocates who want to better understand Early Head Start participants and services.

Factsheets on Head Start preschool and Migrant and Seasonal Head Start are also available.

State-specific analysis of Head Start PIR data is available on request. Please contact Ruth Cosse
