Sec.  1306.1  Purpose and scope.


    This Part sets forth requirements for Early Head Start and Head 
Start program staffing and program options that all Early Head Start and 
Head Start grantee and delegate agencies, with the exception of Parent 
Child Center programs, must meet. The exception for Parent Child Centers 
is for fiscal years 1995, 1996, and 1997 as consistent with section 
645A(e)(2) of the Head Start Act, as amended. These requirements, 
including those pertaining to staffing patterns, the choice of the 
program options to be implemented and the acceptable ranges in the 
implementation of those options, have been developed to help maintain 
and improve the quality of Early Head Start and Head Start and to help 
promote lasting benefits to the children and families being served. 
These requirements are to be used in conjunction with the Head Start 
Program Performance Standards at 45 CFR Part 1304, as applicable.
