Data Sources Data Collection for Building Early Learning SystemsDownload : 379 KB This paper summarizes the sources of data available for the consumers of information on early care and education including parents, community planners, economic developers, employers, policy decision-makers, programming decision-makers, and researchers. By providing a framework for discerning the sources of data by type, advantages and disadvantages, this paper is a useful resource for individuals building early learning systems at the local, state and national levels.   NACCRRA's Standardized Data Collection Tool
In December of 2000, NACCRRA released a nationally standardized data collection tool that is the first of its kind. The release of these standardized fields is a major step toward the development of a national standardized data set of information that is collected locally by resource & referral agencies on a regular basis. The data will be used to identify national trends that inform parents, planners, providers, and policy decision-makers about early learning and school-age programs.
