AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity to be conducted
January 2025 through December 2025 as
a follow-up of the 2024 National Survey
of Early Care and Education (NSECE).
The objectives of the 2024 NSECE
Longitudinal Follow-ups are to build on
the design and implementation of the

SUMMARY:

Jkt 262001
2024 NSECE to collect urgently needed
information on the following two topics
relevant to early care and education
(ECE) policy: (1) how households learn
about and make use of financial
assistance in seeking and selecting ECE,
with additional focus on paid
individual care arrangements; and (2)
patterns of retention and attrition among
individuals in the center-based ECE
workforce.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB must make a decision
about the collection of information
between 30 and 60 days after
publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open

information by emailing
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov.
Identify all requests by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The 2024 NSECE
Longitudinal Follow-ups will consist of
two nationally representative surveys
drawing from 2024 NSECE respondents:
1. a survey of households (1) with
incomes under 300 percent of the
federal poverty level (FPL) and/or (2)
who had used paid care by an
individual in 2024 (2024 NSECE
Household Follow-up)
2. a survey of individuals who were
employed in 2024 in center-based ECE
programs working directly with
children in classrooms serving children
age 5 years and under, not yet in
kindergarten (2024 NSECE Workforce
Follow-up).
Participants will be drawn from
respondents to the 2024 NSECE
Household and Workforce surveys.
The 2024 NSECE Longitudinal
Follow-up data collection efforts will
provide urgently needed information
that will expand the potential of the
2024 NSECE data to describe: (1)
households’ search for and use of
financial assistance for ECE (including
assistance for paid individual care
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
76477
arrangements); and (2) employment
experiences of individuals who have
recently worked in center-based ECE
classrooms.
The household follow-up in early
2025 will re-interview households
participating in the 2024 NSECE who (1)
report using paid individual ECE or (2)
report incomes below 300 percent of the
FPL. The workforce follow-up in late
2025 will re-interview individuals who
participated in the 2024 NSECE
workforce survey (i.e., served as centerbased classroom-assigned instructional
staff between January and November
2024). Both follow-up surveys are
designed to collect in-depth information
that was not feasible to collect in the
2024 NSECE and which can be uniquely
collected through re-interviews of
selected 2024 NSECE participants. The
household follow-up will include
information about households’
awareness of and experience with
publicly funded ECE programs, how
households selected ECE arrangements
for Fall 2024, and who provided paid
individual care to the households’
children in 2024. The workforce followup will include information about the
experiences of ECE instructional staff
over time, where workers who leave
ECE employers or the ECE sector go and
why they leave, and workers’
experiences in various ECE settings
throughout their ECE careers. Accurate
data on families with young children
and the experiences of ECE workers are
essential to assess the current landscape
of ECE, and to provide insights to
advance ECE policy and initiatives. The
household follow-up will be fielded
using multi-mode survey methodologies
in early 2025, and the workforce followup will be fielded using multi-mode
survey methodologies in the last half of
2025. Both follow-ups will enhance the
value of the 2024 NSECE by expanding
the potential utility of those data to
describe household and worker
experiences over time and to address
additional information needs.
Respondents: 1. Households
participating in the 2024 NSECE and
reported either a. a paid individual ECE
arrangement in 2024, or b. income
under the 300 percent Federal poverty
level in 2024. 2. Individuals who
participated in the 2024 NSECE survey
of center-based classroom-assigned
instructional staff (workforce).
