Sec. 1306.30  Provisions of comprehensive child development services.





    (a) All Head Start grantees must provide comprehensive child 

development services, as defined in the Head Start Performance 

Standards.

    (b) All Head Start grantees must provide classroom or group 

socialization activities for the child as well as home visits to the 

parents. The major purpose of the classroom or socialization activities 

is to help meet the child's development needs and to foster the child's 

social competence. The major purpose of the home visits is to enhance 

the parental role in the growth and development of the child.

    (c) The facilities used by Early Head Start and Head Start grantee 

and delegate agencies for regularly scheduled center-based and 

combination program option classroom activities or home-based group 

socialization activities must comply with State and local requirements 

concerning licensing. In cases where these licensing standards are less 

comprehensive or less stringent than the Head Start regulations, or 

where no State or local licensing standards are applicable, grantee and 

delegate agencies are required to assure that their facilities are in 

compliance with the Head Start Program Performance Standards related to 

health and safety as found in 45 CFR 1304.53(a), Physical environment 

and facilities.

    (d) All grantees must identify, secure and use community resources 

in the provision of services to Head Start children and their families 

prior to using Head Start funds for these services.
