Reviewer Notes

Clarification regarding respondent response options:

Please note that while only some items may list a “DK/REF” (Don’t Know/Refused) option, respondents answering the survey in any mode always have the option to decline to answer any item. Any respondent declining to provide a response to an item is directed to the next appropriate survey item.
Please note that response options preceded by the term “added” in this document reflect internal codes used for back-end data management, and are not displayed, shown or read to the respondent. These response options preceded by the term “added” are only in the English versions of the questionnaires, and are not included in the Spanish-translated questionnaires (since they are for internal purposes and do not require translation).

Skip Patterns:

Simple skip patterns are identified with an arrow immediately following a response option, as in the example below:

A8A.

Shape4 Is your program for profit, not for profit, or is it run by a government agency?

1. for profit  SKIP TO A9

2. not for profit

3. run by a government agency

4. OTHER, SPECIFY: ______________

More complex skip patterns are identified with a bordered box, as in the example below. Skip Logic Boxes are titled in bold and numbered using the following naming convention: [Section]_S_[Sequential count].

Skip Logic Box A_S_1:

IF A8A = 1 OR 2 (“FOR PROFIT” OR “NOT FOR PROFIT”), ASK A9
ELSE, SKIP TO A11_M.

Loops:

A loop is a series of questions that are asked iteratively about one or more entities, for example, a series of personal characteristics asked about each child in the household. The loop’s questions appear once in the questionnaire, with skip instructions that indicate when the series starts and ends and for which entities the loop is asked. Sometimes one loop is nested within another.

Loop patterns are identified with a broken-line bordered box, as in the example below. All loops are bookended with a boxes designated as ‘Start of…’ and ‘End of…’ Loop. Loop boxes are titled in italics and numbered using the following naming convention: [Section]_L_[Sequential count].

Start of B_L_1 Loop (*BL1):

REPEAT B1_5 – B1_5H FOR EACH AGE GROUP = 1 (HAVE A RATE IN B1_3A)

All questionnaire items within a loop are identified with a truncated loop title, preceded by a ‘*’ and formatted in italics with blue font. A single questionnaire item may be included in none, one, or multiple loops and will be identified accordingly in the questionnaire with zero, one, or multiple loop titles.

B1_5C. *BL1
How many hours per week does that cover?

Ranges:

Numeric open-ended responses throughout the questionnaire, such as number of years or weeks, have a pre-assigned lower and upper limit in the computerized questionnaire to minimize error. These ranges are shown directly beneath such open-ended responses, as in the example below. Ranges are prefixed with “RANGE:” in all caps and formatted with purple font.

B5d.

How many of the children in your program have variation in the number of paid hours of care each week?

Number of children

RANGE: 0-999

Programmatic fills:

Some questions have customized text that is programmatically filled during computerized administration. A descriptor of the customized text is indicated, and users can tell that customized rather than generic text was visible during the interview because the text is bracketed and in CAPS. Programmatic fills within the questionnaire are contained within brackets […], as in the example below. The fill text within the brackets provides a brief description of what the fill is.

[INTERVIEWER ADMINISTERED:] Hello, my name is [NAME], and I’m from NORC at the University of Chicago. We’re conducting a study sponsored by the Administration for Children and Families of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We would like to ask you a few questions about child care services in your community. Your answers will help the government better support the people who care for our nation’s children.

Q1. Do you offer early care and education services for children age 5 years and under, not yet in kindergarten, at [ADDRESS]? By early care and education, I mean preschool, pre-kindergarten, nursery school, day care, Montessori for young children, or other similar services. This does not include drop-in or single activity services, such as sports practices or tutoring programs.

[IN CALIFORNIA: Since many children in California transitional kindergarten spend their next year in regular kindergarten, please report California transitional kindergarten as early care and education services.]

1. Yes

2. No (SKIP TO Q4)

Q1a_2. Are your organization’s services for children 5 and under, not yet in kindergarten…

	Yes	No
a. at least three hours per day at least twice per week
b. only drop in activities that children may not attend regularly
c. only before or after-school activities
d. only a single activity, such as only tutoring, therapy, or a sports activity? Please answer “no” if your organization provides multiple activities for children throughout the day.

CHK_1. IF Q1a_2_a=Y AND Q1a_2_b=N AND Q1a_2_c=N AND Q1a_2_d=N THEN ORG IS ELIGIBLE. ELSE ORG NOT ELIGIBLE.

CHK_2. IF ORG IS ELIGIBLE, ASK Q2. ELSE SKIP TO Q4.

CREATE ELIGIBILITY ROSTER AND POPULATE BASED ON Q1A OUTCOME [ELIG_FLAG]. PNAME ORGANIZATION IS ALWAYS FIRST IN ROSTER AND HAVE LIST NUMBER OF 1. IF ELIGIBLE AS INDICATED ABOVE THEN ELIG_FLAG=1, IF NOT THEN ELIG_FLAG=0.

Q2. Is [PNAME] the best name for your organization?

Yes (SKIP TO Q4)
No

Q3. What is the name of your organization?

Organization #1 _________________________________________________

Q4. Does any other organization offer early care and education services at [ADDRESS] for children 5 years and younger, not yet in kindergarten?

No (skip to Q6)

Q5. What is the name of that organization?

Organization ________________

Q6. And is there another organization that offers early care and education services at [ADDRESS] for children 5 years and younger, not yet in kindergarten?

ELSE ORG NOT ELIGIBLE.

CHK_4. RETURN TO Q7_2 FOR NEXT ORGANIZATION LISTED AT Q5 UNTIL ALL ORGANIZATIONS HAVE BEEN ASKED ABOUT.

ADD EACH ORGANIZATION NAME FROM Q5 TO ELIGIBLITY ROSTER AND ASSIGN ELIG_FLAG=1 IF ABOVE CRITERIA ARE MET. IF NOT, THEN ASSIGN ELIG_FLAG=0. EACH ORGANIZATION IN ROSTER HAS LIST VALUE, ORGANIZATION NAME AND ELIG_FLAG.

LIST VALUE	ORGANIZATION NAME	ELIG_FLAG
1	IF Q2=YES, THEN USE PNAME PRELOAD; ELSE USE Q3 NAME	IF Q1A_2_A=YES AND Q1A_2_B=NO AND Q1A_2_C=NO AND Q1A_2_D=NO THEN ELIG=FLAG=1. ELSE ELIG_FLAG=0
2	ORGANIZATION NAME FROM Q5 (LOOP 1)	IF Q7_2_A=YES AND Q7_2_B=NO AND Q7_2_C=NO AND Q7_2_D=NO THEN SET ELIG_FLAG=1. ELSE SET ELIG_FLAG=0
3	FOLLOWING LOGIC FOR LIST VALUE 2 ABOVE, ADD UP TO 4 ADDITIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

[ORGANIZATION SELECTION LOGIC: RANDOMLY SELECT ONE ORGANIZATION FROM ROSTER FOR THOSE LISTED ABOVE AS ELIGIBLE [WHERE ELIG_FLAG=1] AND STORE AS FINALORG. STORE LIST VALUE AS WELL.]

POPULATE CB_ORG VARIABLE BASED ON FOLLOWING LOGIC:

IF CBSCR IS NOT FI ADMINISTERED (FI_ADMIN=0) AND ORIGINAL ORG IS ELIGIBLE [ELIG_FLAG=1 FOR FIRST ORG IN ROSTER] AND Q2=YES, THEN STORE PNAME FROM Q2 AS CB_ORG.
IF CBSCR IS NOT FI ADMINISTERED (FI_ADMIN=0) AND ORIGINAL ORG IS ELIGIBLE [ELIG_FLAG=1 FOR FIRST ORG IN ROSTER] BUT Q2=NO, THEN STORE Q3 NAME AS CB_ORG.
IF CBSCR IS FI ADMINISTERED (FI_ADMIN=1), STORE FINALORG VALUE AS CB_ORG VALUE.
POPULATE THE CB_ORG_CODE TO MATCH THE LIST VALUE CARRIED FROM FINALORG.

CHK_5. IF ORIGINAL ORG IS NOT ELIGIBLE AND CBSCR IS NOT FI_ADMINISTERED (FI_ADMIN=0), SKIP TO LOGIC AT Q7. OTHERWISE CONTINUE TO Q8.

Q8. Based on our statistical procedures, our study has some additional questions for [CB_ORG] about its early care and education services for young children.

Selection of staff for the Workforce Survey

H6.

As you know, attracting and keeping high-quality staff is a major issue for many early care and education programs. As part of this study, we are building a national description of individuals working in early care classrooms. In addition to the information you have provided about staff at your program, we have some questions that people can only answer about themselves, such as their motivations for working in this field. This information will help policymakers and practitioners understand the challenges and opportunities for improving the early education workforce and better supporting individuals who want to work with young children.

You’ve indicated that the following individuals worked at least 5 hours last week in the classroom we discussed:

If there are no individuals that have worked at least 5 hours, display: You have indicated that there are no individuals who worked at least 5 hours last week in the classroom we discussed. [BRING OVER LIST FROM F4]
