Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval to collect descriptive information for the Early Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey 2020 (Baby FACES 2020). The goal of this information collection is to provide updated nationally representative data on Early Head Start (EHS) programs, staff, and families to guide program planning, technical assistance, and research. While programming the recently approved instruments for the Early Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (Baby FACES 2020) (OMB #0970-0354), we identified several small issues that may cause confusion. We would like to correct these issues prior to fielding the spring 2020 data collection. These changes are minor and do not impact burden estimates. Changes have been made to the Teacher Child Report and the Parent Survey.
