SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This information collection is to provide nationally
descriptive, longitudinal data on partnerships between Early Head Start
programs and child care providers to inform program planning, technical
assistance, and research. The proposed data collection is a follow-up
study of the 2015 (National Descriptive Study (NDS) of Early Head
Start-Child Care Partnerships (OMB 0970-0471) that obtained information
about the EHS programs, community-based child care centers, and family
child care providers participating in the federal grants supporting the
implementation of Early Head Start-child care partnerships (EHS-CCPs).
The current information collection request will follow up with EHS
programs and child care providers who participated in the NDS to
understand whether and how partnerships have been sustained or have
dissolved, and which features of partnerships support or impede
sustainability. Data collection activities will include surveys of
directors of 2015 EHS-CCP grantees and of child care provider
directors/managers who were selected for participation in the NDS, as
well as semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of providers
whose partnerships have dissolved and have been sustained since 2016.
Respondents: Early Head Start program directors and child care
providers.
