DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Administration for Children and
Families
Education: Comparative Multi-Case
Study.
OMB NO.:
New.
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) seeks approval to collect
new information to use in developing
measures of the implementation and
costs of high quality early care and
education. This information collection
is part of the project, Assessing the
Implementation and Cost of High
Quality Early Care and Education (ECE–
ICHQ). The project’s goal is to create a
technically sound and feasible
instrument that will provide consistent,
systematic measures of the
implementation and costs of education
and care in center-based settings that
serve children from birth to age 5. The
resulting measures will inform research,
policy, and practice by improving
understanding of variations in what
centers do to support quality, their
associated costs, and how resources for
ECE may be better aligned with
expectations for quality.
The goals of the study are (1) to test
and refine a mixed methods approach to
identifying the implementation
activities and costs of key functions
within ECE centers and (2) to produce
data for creating measures of
implementation and costs. The study is
currently collecting data through on-site
visits to 24 centers as part of an initial
phase of data collection under
clearance, #0970–0355. This initial
phase is meant to test data collection
tools and methods, conduct cognitive
interviewing to obtain feedback from
respondents about the tools, and reduce
and refine the tools for the next phase
of data collection.
This request is focused on the next
phase of data collection which will
include 72 ECE centers in three states.
The next phase will rely on remote data
collection through electronic data
collection tools, telephone interviews,
and web-based surveys.
DESCRIPTION:
ECE site administrators or
center directors, program directors,
education specialists, financial
managers or accountants, teachers, and
aides.
