OMB No.: New Collection. Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing a data collection activity as part of the National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE) which will be conducted December, 2011 through June, 2010. The objective of the NSECE is to document the nation’s current need for and availability of early care and education and including school-age care (ECE/SA), and to deepen our understanding of the extent to which families’ needs and preferences coordinate well with providers’ offerings and constraints. The proposed collection will consist of four survey components: (1) A survey of households with children under the age of 13 for participation in a questionnaire on the need for and use of early care and education (Household Interview), (2) a survey of households with individuals providing care for children under the age of 13 in a residential setting (Homebased Provider Interview), (3) a survey of providers of care to children under 13 in a non-residential setting (Centerbased Provider Interview), and (4) a survey conducted with individuals employed in center-based child care programs (Workforce Provider Interview).

The study will also dramatically extend the available resources for understanding how families use, seek, and cope with the ECE/SA choices that are available to them. Perhaps most significantly, the NSECE will allow the policy and research communities to merge data from families and providers at the local level—where the two actually meet.
