520 |a This report is the executive summary of a study examining the benefits of Head Start to children entering elementary school, assessing Head Start benefits to their parents, and describing the characteristics and services of the Head Start program. The data presented in this report were collected from a sample of Head Start graudates located in 32 sites (selected to represent Head Start programs throughout the country). In addition to assessing Head Start children, the study also included data, for comparison purposes, from children who were enrolled in the same classrooms as the Head Start graduates. Data were collected from the parents of both groups, from the elementary school teachers, and from the Head Start centers which the graduates had attended. The findings reported in this executive summary are drawn from the data contained within the final report and its appendices. While the final report is organized around a series of substantive analyses, this executive summary is organized around topics of policy concern. Findings summarized in this report focus on Head Start Center characteristics: Head Start Program descriptions, Head Start effects on parents, Head Start effects on children's social competence, and a program overview.
