This chapter contains criteria for selecting a center location and for planning and programming the space requirements.
The location of the Head Start center is critical to a child's attendance, safety, well being, and quality of care. Best practice indicates that location requirements can be grouped according to the following broad categories of mandatory and recommended criteria: space, environment, safety, security, accessibility, and historic preservation. Chapter 10 of this document provides further technical information about these categories. When a center is subject to state licensing standards that are more restrictive than the criteria listed below, the state standards shall govern.
