The Federal Head Start Performance Standards requires that our
program obtain from a health care professional, a determination as
to whether the child is up-to-date on a schedule of age appropriate preventive
and primary health care which includes medical, dental and mental health. Such
a schedule must incorporate the requirements for a schedule of well child care
utilized by the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT)
program of the Medicaid agency of the State in which they operate,
and the latest immunization recommendations issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
