Brief Summary

Child Trends, funded by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will collect descriptive information for The Role of Licensing in Early Care and Education (TRLECE): Licensing Administrators project. The goal of this information collection is to deepen the field's understanding of child care and early education licensing systems, which play a critical role in supporting positive outcomes for providers, families, and children. The investigators will conduct one round of survey data collection with all state and territory child care and early education licensing administrators.

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

IPD will be shared. Information collected from Part 1 of this survey focuses on state/territory licensing system (e.g., structure, function, and regulations) and will be reported publicly and shared with the Child \& Family Data Archive (CFData). Part 2 of the survey focuses on administrator perceptions and ideas. We anticipate that these data will be shared via a restricted use data set with the CFData Archive.

Time Frame
The team anticipates submitting IPD and supporting information to Child and Family Data Archive (CFData) roughly 6 months after the end of data collection. Data will be available after being reviewed by CFData. No end date on the availability of the data.
Access Criteria
Some data from the child care licensing administrator survey will be archived as public-use data with CFData and accessible on their website. Some data will be available as restricted-use only, following guidelines from CFData. Data will be shared with researchers for analyses related to child care licensing systems and experiences and perceptions of licensing administrators.
