| Popis: | The Early Head Start Jobs project is an 18-month secondary data analysis project funded by a 2022 grant from the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration for Children and Families, US Department of Health and Human Services. This project seeks to better understand and examine questions related to the Early Head Start (EHS) workforce and specifically home visitors. EHS is a federally funded and locally administered early childhood program for pregnant women and families with children younger than age 3 with low incomes or other qualifying needs. EHS service providers may apply for grant funding to provide center-based services, home-based services, or a combination. Programs are staffed accordingly with classroom teachers and home visitors depending on the selected program option. A healthy and stable workforce is key to delivering EHS services; however, high staff turnover is common in this field. Little research has documented what supports are available to EHS home visitors and how these supports shape their professional well-being and their programs’ ability to retain qualified staff members. |
