data collection as part of the National
Survey of Early Care and Education
(NSECE) (OMB #0970–0391), which will
be conducted October 2020 through
June 2021. The objective of the NSECE
COVID–19 Follow-up is to document
the nation’s current supply of early care
and education (ECE) services that is
home-based providers, center-based
providers, and the center-based provider
workforce. In the context of the COVID–
19 pandemic, the NSECE COVID–19
Follow-up will deepen our
understanding of the state of ECE
supply and the ECE workforce following
the initial period of crisis, including
changes in supply or departures from
and re-entries to the workforce.

center-based ECE providers of care to
children birth through age 5 (not yet in
kindergarten), home-based ECE
providers that serve children under age
13, as well as the ECE workforce
providing these services. The proposed
collection will consist of the following
three coordinated nationally
representative surveys:
1. A two-wave survey of individuals

setting, as of 2019, and who participated
in the 2019 NSECE (Home-based
Provider Interview);
2. a two-wave survey of providers of
care to children ages 0 through 5 years
of age (not yet in kindergarten) in a nonresidential setting (Center-based
Provider Interview), as of 2019, and who
participated in the 2019 NSECE; and
3. a two-wave survey conducted with
individuals employed in center-based
child care programs working directly
with children in classrooms (Centerbased Classroom Staff [Workforce]
Interview), as of 2019, and who
participated in the 2019 NSECE.
The NSECE COVID–19 Follow-up will
provide urgently needed information
about the supply of child care and early
education available to families across all
income levels, including providers
serving low-income families of various
racial, ethnic, language, and cultural
backgrounds, in diverse geographic
areas. The study will also dramatically
extend the available resources for
understanding the national impact of
the COVID–19 pandemic on the
country’s ECE supply and workforce,
including geographic variation therein.
Accurate data on the availability and
characteristics of ECE programs are
essential to assess the current and
changing landscape of child care and
early education programs and
understand the ability of the nation’s
supply and workforce to meet the needs
of parents of young children in the postpandemic economy, and will provide
insights to advance policy and
initiatives in the ECE field.
Respondents: Home-based providers,
as of 2019, serving children under 13
years of age (listed and unlisted paid)—
regardless of their status serving
children in 2020–2021; center-based
child care providers, as of 2019, serving
children ages 0 through 5 years of age
(not yet in kindergarten)—regardless of
their status serving children in 2020–
2021; and classroom-assigned
instructional staff members working
with children ages 0 through 5 years of
age (not yet in kindergarten) in centerbased child care providers, as of 2019,
