Document Number: 7746 Costs Per Child for Early Childhood Education and Care Comparing Head Start, CCDF Child Care, and Prekindergarten/Preschool Programs (2003/2004) - This paper calculates the actual, per-child costs of Head Start (including Early Head Start), child care provided under the Child Care and Development Fund and pre-kindergarten/ preschool programs. The report finds that besides being substantially higher than often reported by government agencies, the resulting cost estimates show dramatic differences in costs per child among the three forms of education and care.
