Child Support, Child Care and Head Start Collaboration: Innovations & Ideas (400K Adobe PDF format)
October 23, 2003 State IV-D Directors Dear Colleagues: We are very pleased to share with you the attached report, "Child Support, Child Care and Head Start Collaboration: Innovations & Ideas." The report highlights and compares approaches of six Section 115 demonstration grant projects designed to promote collaboration between state Child Support Enforcement, Child Care, and Head Start programs. We hope that the experiences and lessons learned from these six demonstration projects will be valuable to you in attempting to structure and implement similar collaboration efforts. The report contains a myriad of "how to" and "how not to" lessons which should help any state interested in collaboration between Child Support, Child Care and Head Start - or indeed, in collaboration in general. Some of the major themes highlighted in the report are:
As we all know too well, it takes a multitude of agency and community services to address the complex needs of disadvantaged families. The Administration for Children and Families is committed to helping agencies develop strong partnerships at the state, local and community levels so we can deliver the array of services to the families and children who depend on us. We hope you will use the information shared in this report to continue to build strong partnerships to better serve our nation's most vulnerable families and children. Sincerely,
