Head Start Home-Based Curriculum Selection Checklist

When your program is selecting a home-based curriculum, use this checklist to guide the decision-making process.

Supporting Staff to Effectively Implement Curricula

To implement a curriculum effectively, staff must understand how to use it responsively, intentionally, and with fidelity. Use this resource to implement curriculum in ways that meet the Head Start Program Performance Standards.

Curriculum Scope and Sequence

An organized developmental scope and sequence outlines what the early childhood curriculum focuses on. It also shows how the plans and materials support children at different stages of development.

Standardized Training Procedures and Curriculum Materials to Support Implementation

Standardized training procedures offer initial and ongoing support to education staff as they learn to implement a curriculum with fidelity. Materials include resources that come with a curriculum to help education staff learn how to use it.

Curriculum Alignment with the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF)

Aligning a curriculum with the ELOF allows staff to see which and to what extent the ELOF domains and sub-domains are addressed in the curriculum.

Family Well-being: Strategies to Support Family Safety, Health, and Financial Stability

Safety, health, and financial stability are key to family well-being. Explore ways program staff can  promote and support family well-being.

Early Childhood Transitions: Supporting Children and Families

Making a transition to a new care and learning setting can have an impact on families. Explore ways to support and help families feel secure as they get ready to make the move to a new setting.

Encouraging Your Child to Drink Water

Giving children water with fluoride helps keep their teeth healthy. Learn about fun and easy ways to encourage children to drink water with fluoride.

Understanding Why Baby Teeth Are Important

Baby (primary) teeth are a child’s first set of teeth and by age 2½ to 3 years old, all 20 baby teeth will have come into the mouth. Taking care of a child’s baby teeth is important for their overall health and development.

Getting Oral Health Care While You Are Pregnant

It’s important for women to get oral health care during pregnancy. Getting oral health care, including cleanings, X-rays, fillings, and pain medication, is safe during pregnancy.
