ACTION: Request for Public Comments.
AGENCY:
The Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (OPRE),
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), is proposing to collect
information for The Role of Licensing in
Early Care and Education (TRLECE)
project. This data collection aims to
examine the child care and early
education (CCEE) licensing system
through surveys of child care licensing
administrators, front-line child care
licensing staff, and child care providers.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB must make a decision
SUMMARY:
2. A one-time nationwide survey of
front-line child care licensing staff from
each of the 50 states and the District of
Columbia about their characteristics,
experiences, responsibilities, and
perceptions of the CCEE licensing
system. By front-line child care
licensing staff we mean individuals who
routinely conduct licensing inspections
of child care programs. They may have
other responsibilities as well, as long as
one of their jobs is to routinely conduct
inspections.
3. A one-time nationwide survey of
licensed child care providers from each
of the 50 states and the District of
Columbia about their perceptions of and
experiences with the CCEE licensing
system. For the purposes of this study,
licensed providers are defined as
program owners/directors who oversee
the day-to-day operations in a licensed
center, as well as owners/operators of
licensed family child care (FCC)
programs (including group and family
child care homes).
Respondents: We will invite all child
care licensing administrators in each
state/territory and the District of
Columbia, and all front-line child care
licensing staff in each state and the
District of Columbia to participate in a
comprehensive one-time web-based or
telephone survey. For the survey of
providers, the goal for the final sample
will be a nationally representative
sample of 2,000 licensed providers from
all 50 states and the District of Columbia
(1000 randomly selected licensed child
care centers and 1000 randomly selected
family child care homes).
