Introduction
The Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project began in 1995—the same time the Early Head Start Program began. These talking points accompany the PowerPoint presentation that describes the overall findings from the research. Material for this presentation was drawn from the report completed in June 2002, Making a Difference in the Lives of Infants and Toddlers and Their Families: The Impacts of Early Head Start, Volumes I, II, and III.
