Abstract: The purpose of this study is to collect information to examine a toolkit of new measures designed to assess and strengthen the quality of child care, the Home-Based Child Care Toolkit for Nurturing School-Age Children (HBCC-NSAC Toolkit). This study aims to build psychometric evidence about the English version of the provider questionnaire in the HBCC-NSAC Toolkit for use with providers caring for children in a residential setting (i.e., home-based child care [HBCC]). The study team began recruitment calls (Instrument 2 and 3) on March 13, 2024 and in late April, the team began conducting the observation scheduling call (Instrument 4) with respondents who agreed to be observed. The cooperation rates (the number of people who agree to participate out of the people who complete the call) for the recruitment (Instrument 2 and 3) and observation scheduling calls (Instrument 4) are lower than anticipated thus far. In addition, the study team began receiving completed HBCC-NSAC Toolkit provider questionnaires (Instrument 5) and family surveys (Instrument 6) in late March. The team has since identified a few cases of completed questionnaires with data quality concerns (for example, lack of variation in responses). To reach the analytic goals of the study (i.e., validate the HBCC-NSAC Toolkit provider questionnaire), the study team needs sufficient, high-quality data from the provider questionnaire (Instrument 5) and the family survey (Instrument 6). Given the lower than anticipated cooperation rates, the study team will need to complete the recruitment and observation scheduling calls (Instruments 2-4) with more respondents to reach the desired number of participants recruited for the data collection. Additionally, given the data quality monitoring, the study team will need to allow more respondents (up to the number of estimated recruited respondents) to complete the provider questionnaire and family surveys (Instruments 5 and 6). The study team requests increasing the estimated number of respondents. With increased numbers, the team will be able to recruit the number of participants and allow sufficient responses required for analysis sample and sub-sample sizes. We have attached HBCC-NSAC Toolkit Study OMB Supporting Statement Part A to reflect the change in estimated number of respondents and the associated burden in Section A12 Burden

Short Statement: The study team began recruitment calls (Instrument 2 and 3) on March 13, 2024 and in late April, the team began conducting the observation scheduling call (Instrument 4) with respondents who agreed to be observed. The cooperation rates (the number of people who agree to participate out of the people who complete the call) for the recruitment (Instrument 2 and 3) and observation scheduling calls (Instrument 4) are lower than anticipated thus far. In addition, the study team began receiving completed HBCC-NSAC Toolkit provider questionnaires (Instrument 5) and family surveys (Instrument 6) in late March. The team has since identified a few cases of completed questionnaires with data quality concerns (for example, lack of variation in responses). To reach the analytic goals of the study (i.e., validate the HBCC-NSAC Toolkit provider questionnaire), the study team needs sufficient, high-quality data from the provider questionnaire (Instrument 5) and the family survey (Instrument 6). This is a new information collection request. Given the lower than anticipated cooperation rates, the study team will need to complete the recruitment and observation scheduling calls (Instruments 2-4) with more respondents to reach the desired number of participants recruited for the data collection. Additionally, given the data quality monitoring, the study team will need to allow more respondents (up to the number of estimated recruited respondents) to complete the provider questionnaire and family surveys (Instruments 5 and 6). The study team requests increasing the estimated number of respondents.
