The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation within the Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services contracted with Mathematica and its subcontractor, the Institute for Early Education Leadership and Innovation at the University of Massachusetts Boston, to conduct the Early Care and Education Leadership Study (ExCELS). The purpose of ExCELS it to learn about leadership in center-based early care and education settings, and better understand how leadership might improve the quality of care and education centers provide and outcomes for staff, children, and families. We are seeking approval to collect data for the ExCELS descriptive study which will take place in spring 2022. We will recruit 120 center-based child care settings that receive funding from Head Start or the Child Care and Development Fund and serve children whose ages range from birth to age 5 (but who are not yet in kindergarten) to participate in the data collection activities. Data collection will include interviews with each center’s primary site leader and surveys for select center managers and all teaching staff.
