The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS) program, conducted by the National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES) within the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education (ED),
draws together information from multiple sources to provide rich, descriptive data on child development, early
learning, and school progress. The ECLS program studies deliver national data on children’s status at birth and at
various points thereafter; children’s transitions to nonparental care, early care and education programs, and
school; and children’s experiences and growth through the elementary grades. The Early Childhood Longitudinal
Study, Kindergarten Class of 2022-23 (ECLS-K:2023) is the fourth cohort in the series of early childhood
longitudinal studies. The study will advance research in child development and early learning by providing a
detailed and comprehensive source of current information on children’s early learning and development,
transitions into kindergarten and beyond, and progress through school. Collecting parent data beginning in
preschool will enable the study to measure influences on children’s development before entry into formal
schooling, including children’s home environments and access to early care and education. The request to
conduct a field test of the ECLS-K:2023 preschool data collection activities from January through October 2020,
to field test the preschool data collection materials and procedures, was approved in November 2019 (OMB#
1850-0750 v.19). This request is to update study website designs, web surveys, and respondent materials that
will be used in the ECLS-K:2023 preschool data collection activities. As planned, revisions were made to these
materials in response to the preschool instrument usability studies (OMB# 1850-0803 v.253, approved September
2019). In addition, print versions of the web instruments are included as part of this submission. The preschool
data collection procedures will be field tested from January through October 2020.
