Abstract: The National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), within the
Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of
the U.S. Department of Education (ED),
is seeking approval to conduct in 2014,
2015, and 2016 the annual, web-based
State of Preschool survey, which
centralizes data about publicly provided
early childhood education
opportunities. Data are collected from
state agencies responsible for providing
early childhood education and made
available for secondary analyses. Data
collected as part of the survey focus on
enrollment counts in state-funded early
childhood education programs, funding
provided by the states for these
programs, and program monitoring and
licensing policies. The collected data
are then reported, both separately and in
combination with extant data available
from federal agencies supporting early
childhood education programs such as
Head Start and the U.S. Census Bureau.
Data from the U.S. Census Bureau form
the basis for some of the rates developed
for the State of Preschool reports. The
data and annual report resulting from
the State of Preschool data collection
provide a key information resource for
research and for federal and state policy
