Abstract:
The goals of the Assessing the Implementation and Cost of High Quality Early Care and Education field test are to (1) refine the implementation measures to further improve their psychometric properties, (2) refine the cost measures to identify costs associated with each center function and across ages of children, and (3) test the associations between implementation, cost, and quality measures. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the field test data collection scheduled for 2020 could not proceed as planned. The study team consulted with external experts and gathered input from ACF program offices to guide next steps. This request is for a non-substantive change to the token of appreciation structure to a survey in a multipart study with an experiment to compare the type of token of appreciation, speed of response, the response rate, and the data collection costs between the two groups.
