J – 023 Do children need to be present at EHS/HS educational home visits?
Head Start programs should in general work with all families to assure that children will be present during the home visit. However, there may be some occasions when the home visitor and parent decide that due to the sensitive nature of a particular issue to be discussed, the child should not be present. A child’s presence is not a requirement of any particular home visit and a home visit should not be canceled because of a child’s absence.
