Abstract:
The National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE), sponsored by the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation, Administration for Children & Families (ACF), U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Through an integrated set of surveys with households with young children, institutions providing care for young children, and individuals providing care for young children, the NSECE will assemble the first national portrait of the demand for and supply of early child care and education in twenty years. NSECE will produce a comprehensive description of the range of institutional and individual providers who offer early care and education/school-age care (ECE/SA) services, and will fill a gap in our understanding of the availability of these services for families at all income levels in the United States, and the factors influencing parents' choice of early care and education for their children.
