Be sure to include all small children, foster children, and babies. Start with the youngest child.  Only list children who are age 10 or younger. Enter one child on each line. Enter names until you have listed all children age 10 or younger in this household, then click Next.

Youngest child
Child {NUMBER}.
Current household child roster NA Based on usability findings, changed "Start with the youngest child who is age 10 or younger" to "Start with the youngest child.  Only list children who are age 10 or younger". This was done for the web specifications, rather than for the paper version.

Also added "Youngest child" before "Child{NUMBER}".

Also added underlining for "age 10 or younger."

Current grade/equivalent 1 Added "Note: Throughout the survey, click the blue "i" icon for more information about an item." as a note.

Placed instructional text that was on the screen into help text to create more room on the screen. This text was:

"Child care for infants or toddlers in a home or center includes early childhood education programs, child care, nursery school, or day care in a center, or child care with a relative or nonrelative other than a parent/guardian.

Preschool or child care for preschool-aged children in a home or center includes early childhood education programs, child care, or day care in a center, nursery school, preschool, prekindergarten, or child care with a relative or nonrelative other than a parent/guardian.

Kindergarten includes Transitional Kindergarten (TK), Early Transitional Kindergarten (ETK), Readiness Kindergarten, Transitional or Prefirst Grade, or a program that is a kindergarten equivalent but is ungraded or has multiple grades."

Placed instructional text that was on the screen into help text to create more room on the screen. This text was:

"Child care for infants or toddlers in a home or center includes early childhood education programs, child care, or day care in a center, or child care with a relative or nonrelative other than a parent/guardian.

Preschool or child care for preschool-aged children in a home or center includes early childhood education programs, child care, or day care in a center, nursery school, preschool, prekindergarten, or child care with a relative or nonrelative other than a parent/guardian.

Kindergarten includes Transitional Kindergarten (TK), Early Transitional Kindergarten (ETK), Readiness Kindergarten, Transitional or Prefirst Grade, or a program that is a kindergarten equivalent but is ungraded or has multiple grades."

Also, added transitional text "Now we want to ask about your plans for the fall." Transitional text is not included in attachment D, but we are noting this change that came out of usability testing that suggested respondents were not distinguishing this question from the previous question so this text was added in addition to underlining "fall 2020."

CCQ560 Even though many factors matter when choosing child care or a preschool, which THREE factors below were the MOST IMPORTANT to you? Please choose only three choices.
For me, the THREE (3) MOST IMPORTANT factors were that the child care or program…
1 Offers convenient hours (for example, is a full-day program, or offers before- or after-school care)
2 Offers services for children with special needs
3 Teaches children how to get along well with others
4 Is in a convenient location (close to your home, work, or public transportation)
5 Has a warm and nurturing caregiver(s)/teacher(s)
6 Provides a safe and clean environment
7 Provides transportation
8 Is free or was the least expensive option
9 Teaches children letters, numbers, and other academic skills
10 Accepts payment from a child care assistance program in my state
11 Also serves my other children (for example, the program is located in a school where an older sibling is enrolled
12 Teaching philosophy (for example, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, etc.)
13 Provides specialized programs (for example, dual language instruction)
14 Offered in same location as kindergarten
15 Has good reputation or high rating (for example, heard good things about the school from friends, family, neighbors, etc.)
16 Very good value
17 Promotes racial/cultural inclusivity
18 A language other than English is used as the teaching language

CCQ565 Now please choose the TWO things that MOST NEED IMPROVEMENT at {CHILD}’s child care or preschool program. Please choose only two choices.
The TWO (2) things that MOST NEED IMPROVEMENT at {CHILD}’s child care or preschool program are:
1 Offer more convenient hours
2 Be in a more convenient location
3 It is not helping my child learn (for example, I wish my child got more practice developing social skills or academic school skills)
4 The way the caregiver/teacher interacts with my child (for example, I wish my child’s caregiver/teacher was more warm and affectionate)
5 The environment at my child’s child care/preschool program (for example, I wish the program was more inviting with more books and toys for my child)
6 The way my child’s caregiver/teacher communicates with me about my child (for example, I wish my child’s caregiver/teacher talked to me more about my child’s progress)
7 The cost
8 None. If there is nothing you would change about your child care/preschool program, please mark here.
91 Other (Please specify):
Improvements that the parent would make in the child care 1, 2, 3 Deleted duplicate words "in a" in response 2 "Be in a more in a convenient location".

In response 3, changed "development" to "developing".

This spec will appear to be different from OMB, but it is not. Response 8 (None) will display under "Other" in the web survey as shown in the original OMB specifications. However, in SpecWriter it will appear as if "Other" (coded 91) is the last code because of the need for codes to appear in numeric order. The programming instructions place it in the correct order, though, so this actually matches OMB.

Changed letter values for responses to number codes.
