This report is an interim statistical report, addressing characteristics of the Starting Points Preschool Program in Louisiana, and containing information on children who were enrolled in 1993-94. The Starting Points Preschool Program was initiated in 1992-93 through the United States Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 in order to improve the availability, affordability, and quality of child care services. Federal regulations associated with this program require that both parents or guardians of the children be working or enrolled in job training or education programs and that families meet a household income requirement. The purpose of the Starting Points Preschool Program is to provide quality early childhood education services to children who meet the two previously stated federal criteria, as well as three state-specified criteria of age, at-risk status, and parent or guardian agreement to participate in program activities. Following an introduction that includes tables on program funding and participation, the report presents tables of data in six categories. The six categories are: (1) applicant information; (2) enrollment data and characteristics of classes; (3) demographic characteristics of the Starting Points participating children; (4) eligibility criteria and parent or guardian data; (5) parental involvement; and (6) program assessment data. Each of these sections includes a summary statement. A final summary of the report includes tables on program characteristics and on comparison of the programs 2 years of operation. Four appendices contain correspondence, pages from the program's guidelines for application, program regulations, and a copy of the project survey. (TJQ)
