ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Sincere appreciation is given to the parents and local Head Start staff who participated in the interviews and focus groups. Their cooperation and genuine interest in the study, as well as the efforts of the local Head Start program directors, were major factors in the success of this project.
The research team also benefitted from the direction received from Federal Project Officer, Louisa B. Tarullo, Ed.D., and her colleague, Michael Lopez, Ph.D., from the OPRE Child Outcomes Research and Evaluation (CORE). This is also the appropriate opportunity to recognize the contributions of Kristin Smith, M.P.H., U.S. Bureau of the Census; Michael Vaden-Kiernan, Ph.D., and Gabriela Garcia, M.A., from Abt Associates; Lois Wiechmann, M.A., and Tina Younoszai, Ph.D., from The CDM Group; Damon Jones, M.S., Alan Bell, M.Ed., from Bell Associates; as well as the quality field work of Lynnette Bates and Katy Vuncannon.
