program options: a center-based option, a home-based program option or a 
combination program option.
    (b) The program option chosen must meet the needs of the children 
and families as indicated by the community needs assessment conducted by 
the grantee.

Start grantees that operate more than one program option must consider 
such factors as the child's age, developmental level, disabilities,

prior to making final assignments.
