Curriculum Comes from the Child! A Head Start Family Child Care Program.

Litman, Maureen; And Others

Young Children, v54 n3 p4-9 May 1999

Compared children in a home-based Head Start Family Child Care Program with those in regular Head Start classrooms over a three-year period. The home-based group received the same comprehensive Head Start services as the classroom group, with a curriculum built around the children, family life, and the culture and geography of Minnesota. Found no significant developmental differences between groups. (AMC)
