Collecting primary data is crucial to any research project, especially for a Head Start Community Assessment. Below are surveys we have developed to assess the strengths and needs of Head Start / Early Head Start / Migrant Head Start children and families, as reported by parents and community leaders. 

Surveys are available in Spanish, Creole, and Arabic.
