To ensure that all Head Start providers are providing effective services to children and families, Federal law mandates that each Head Start grantee is monitored every 3 years to ensure that it meets established program standards for safety, integrity, and effectiveness. Fiscal Year 2013-2014 is a Federal review year for the Head Start/Early Head Start in Miami-Dade County.
The Office of Head Start has provided a FY 2014 Head Start Monitoring Protocol available for download here. The Head Start Monitoring Protocol is an important tool used to gather data during on-site reviews. The Protocol measures seven areas of grantee performance and contains key indicators that are used to assess each grantee. Performance areas are centered around select Head Start Program Performance Standards, Head Start Act citations, and fiscal regulations. All performance areas include a series of key indicators, compliance measures, and targeted questions to consider that are used by the Monitoring Review Team to better evaluate each grantee.
