This presentation provides an overview of the 2018 Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) and explores the quality activities that count toward the quality set-aside.
This report provides information on participation in Parent Aware, Minnesota's QRIS, including growth of Parent Aware rated programs over time, future growth projections, rated programs by Star levels, and more.
This research report examines how states and territories
are addressing, or plan to address, new requirements and
goals of the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)
reauthorization law related to access to early care and
education (ECE) services described in their 2016–2018
FY state/territory CCDF plans.
The following table provides the websites for states’ QRIS standards compiled by the National Center on Early Childhood Quality Assurance
(ECQA Center). States often have multiple sets of standards for specific types of early care and education providers, such as child care centers,
family child care (FCC) homes, and school-age programs.
This paper offers a retrospective
on the design and delivery of the Learning
Table, along with lessons learned to inform
development of future opportunities to
improve early learning policy.
The Parent Aware evaluation tracks the implementation and outcomes of Parent Aware and is designed
to provide research results that inform continuous improvement of the system. The purpose of this Initial
Validation Report is to describe the extent to which the Parent Aware rating process is producing ratings
that meet interrelated criteria for being fair, accurate, and meaningful.
The purpose of the Parent Aware Initial Validation Study is to
examine the extent to which the rating process and the four
star quality ratings that are awarded are fair, accurate and
meaningful. The findings will be used to inform improvement
of Parent Aware as it continues to expand across Minnesota.

The ECE Access Guidebook was developed
to address the need for developing a common understanding and approach to measuring access. Ultimately,
this Guidebook is intended to support states’ efforts to assess the reach and effectiveness of their policy
initiatives aimed at expanding ECE access.
The Guidebook provides information in four sections: Clarifying and Defining Access; Describing the
Indicators of Access; Measuring the Indicators of Access; and Identifying ECE Access Datasets and Sources.
This PowerPoint from a Let’s Talk webinar series on supporting families’ early learning decision-making provides an overview of the Universal Pre-K application process in Durham, NC.
