Families’ engagement in children’s learning at home and in early care and education programs can impact lifelong health, developmental and academic outcomes.

This policy statement from the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Education (ED) provides recommendations1 to early childhood systems and programs on family engagement.

This document summarizes the Federal policy recommendations released in December 2014, and profiles innovative policies and workforce supports adopted by States and local leaders around the country who are leading the way by proactively addressing expulsion and suspension in early childhood settings. Though no State or community highlighted here considers their work finished, they are taking important steps forward to address the issue and have a series of planned next steps they intend to pursue. Their innovative ideas and valuable lessons learned can support and guide localities similarly alarmed by- and committed to addressing- this issue.

This guidebook describes the steps and best practices for successfully selecting and implementing a parenting intervention. The purpose of this guidebook is to provide you, as program, state, and network leaders, an easy-to-use tool for implementing a parenting intervention.
