Health Services Management

As part of Head Start’s comprehensive services, every Head Start program provides services to promote health, behavioral health, and safety for children and families. New and experienced health services staff can use these resources to learn more about health services and the role of health services staff. This topic area also includes professional development resources for health services staff, child care health consultants, and others who support health services across all early care and education settings.

Creating Healthy and Safe Environments

This webinar explores how child care health consultants can collaborate with Head Start directors and teachers to create healthy and safe learning environments.

Health and Safety Screener

Programs that serve young children are required to ensure that policies and procedures are in place to protect children and keep them healthy and safe. This screener will help to identify where programs need to make changes and build capacity to meet children's needs. It also contains best practices and requirements found in the Head Start Program Performance Standards.
