L – 014Can programs count, as non-federal share, the time spent by a parent walking his/her child to the Head Start center?
No. If a Head Start/Early Head Start program transports a Head Start child to a center, that child becomes Head Start’s responsibility from the time the child boards the bus. If a program is not providing transportation, the child becomes Head Start’s responsibility at the time the child enters the Head Start center. Any activities prior to either of these times is not considered to be part of the Head Start day and, therefore, not chargeable to the Head Start grant, as either federal or non-federal share. Requirement 2 CFR 215.23(a); 45 CFR 92.
