Using EHS-CCP funds, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services awards competitive grants to Early Head Start grantees that partner with local child care providers—both center-based and in-home providers—that serve children from low-income families receiving child care subsidies and agree to meet Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS). Early Head Start grantees help their child care partners to meet these standards and provide comprehensive wrap-around services, such as developmental screenings, formula and diapers, to meet children’s health, nutrition and other comprehensive development needs.
