Dear Program Director,

The Office of Head Start and the Office of Research, Planning and Evaluation of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) plan to conduct a field test in Head Start/Early Head Start programs in your area to help with the development of measures evaluating the quality of relationships between families and Head Start/Early Head Start family services staff. Westat and Child Trends, two research firms in the Washington, DC area, are conducting this field test.

We are writing to let you know that you may be contacted in a couple of weeks by a project member at Child Trends to ask for your participation in the field test. You may also have received an email from Kiersten Beigel from the Office of Head Start asking for your help on this field test.

To find out more about the study, visit the OPRE website at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/opre/research/project/development-of-a-measure-of-family-and-provider-teacher-relationship-quality-fptrq.

Sincerely,

Kwang Kim, Ed.D.

Senior Study Director
