Abstract	The Houston Parent-Child Development Center was established to provide a basis for educational improvement for Mexican-American families and to yield basic information about the importance of the whole family for a child's success in learning. Certain cultural factors, such as language and sex role expectations were taken into account in establishing the program for a specific population. Families enter the program when their child is 1 year old. At this stage, services are provided in the home, with training provided mainly for mothers. After the first year, the mother and child go to the center for learning activities. Project families also participate in several workshops with each other, and frequent parent discussions are held. Language instruction is woven into all program activities. The evaluation design includes plans to gather data on children, mothers, and other family members on an annual basis. Control group families will be involved. Evaluation measures for children and adults are listed, including developmental scales, intelligence tests, structured interactions, attitude surveys, child rearing inventories, etc. Initial data has been collected for 34 program and 28 control families, but only preliminary analysis has been completed.
