The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the 2024 NSECE data collection on June 7, 2023, and the study team is scheduled to begin data collection outreach activities in late October 2023. The 2024 NSECE, a set of four coordinated nationally representative surveys, is preceded by the 2019 NSECE (OMB #0970-0391) and the 2012 NSECE (OMB #0970-0391), which assembled the first national portrait of the demand for and supply of early care and education (ECE) since the 1990’s. Through a set of four inter-related surveys, the 2024 National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE) will collect information on (1) home- and center-based ECE services available (supply) to families with children ages birth through 5 years, not yet in kindergarten; (2) characteristics of the center-based ECE workforce providing these services; and (3) households with children under age 13 years. These surveys of center- and home-based providers, center-based workforce, and households will gather nationally-representative information on the supply of ECE available to families across all income levels; the demand for ECE; the factors influencing parents’ choices and utilization of ECE for their children; and the interaction of supply and demand - specifically the extent to which families’ needs and preferences coordinate well with providers’ offerings and constraints. Our preparations for data collection for the 2024 NSECE have included review of selected state ECE program rules for licensing and public pre-kindergarten, cognitive testing of the Spanish Household Survey instrument during the public comment period, and testing of programmed questionnaires. Through these activities, we have identified a small number of edits to the questionnaires that would 1) better reflect current state policies, 2) improve consistency within questionnaires and between the English and Spanish versions, and 3) improve data quality through clarified instructions for data entry.
