Keeping Children Safe

• Keeping children safe is a top priority for all Head Start and Early Head Start programs.
• The Head Start Program Performance Standards require that “no child shall be left alone or unsupervised while under their care” (45 CFR 1304.52[i][1][iii]).
• Active supervision is the most effective strategy for creating a safe environment and preventing injuries in young children.
• Each program can keep children safe by teaching all educators how to look, listen, and engage.
