In 1993, the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) commissioned this investigation to study the diversity in language and culture of the Head Start population and to identify the range of services provided to this population. The objectives of the Celebrating Cultural and Linguistic Diversity in Head Start study were: 1. To describe the Head Start population, including the cultural and linguistic groups served and their distribution. 2. To describe what services program have developed (i.e., classroom curricula, parent involvement components, staff training, etc.) to address the unique service needs of children and families from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. 3. To describe barriers faced by Head Start programs as they address the needs of an increasingly diverse population.
