Abstract: The QPR collects information from states and territories to describe investments to improve the quality of care available for children from birth to age 13. This report meets the requirements in the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014 for Lead Agencies to submit an annual report that describes how quality funds were expended, including the activities funded and the measures used to evaluate progress in improving the quality of child care programs and services. The report was last renewed in December 2021 and has a current expiration date of December 31, 2024. The Office of Child Care (OCC) proposes minor changes to the OMB approved form to simplify the appearance of the form to align with OCC’s new data collection system, the Child Care Automated Reporting System (CARS); clarify existing questions; make a small number of existing questions more specific to capture known common areas of quality expenditure across states and territories; and eliminate duplication of effort with other OCC data collections.
