Assessing the Implementation and Cost of High Quality Care and Education
Comparative Multi-Case Study Cost Workbook
Introduction and Instructions
Please scroll down to read all instructions.
The Assessing the Implementation and Cost of High Quality Early Care and Education (ECE-ICHQ) project will produce measures of implementation and costs that help us better understand the program resources, capacities, and activities that can make a difference for children's early childhood experiences and outcomes. This workbook collects information on the cost of operating your early care and education program. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 6.5 hours per response, including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the information collection.
What is this survey about?
This survey is for programs included in the ECE-ICHQ study. It asks questions about the costs of running an early care and education program and the revenue your receive. The survey is designed to gather information on all resources used by the program, including those that the program does not pay for directly and that may not be reflected in expenditure records (such as the value of volunteer time or donated space). The questions refer to your center, meaning services provided at a specific address or site.
How is the survey organized?
The survey is divided into ten sections, labeled A through L. Each section asks questions about a specific type of cost and appears as a separate tab in this Excel workbook. You can access each section by clicking on the tabs at the bottom of this page. Please complete the questions in all sections. Please save this file after completing each section.
What time period is covered?
Please report costs for the most recently completed fiscal year. The survey refers to the 12-month time frame you select as the "reporting period". Please specify your reporting period (the most recently completed fiscal year) on the next sheet.
What information or records will I need to complete the survey?
You will need information about center expenditures and use of resources, such as facilities and equipment, as well as center revenues. Please use actual expenditure records rather than budgets when gathering information to answer survey questions. Information from budgets does not always represent actual expenditures.
Who should complete the survey?
A person who is familiar with program expenditures and accounting records, such as a financial manager, should have primary responsibility for completing the survey. This person may need to consult with other people to gather information required to address some questions.
How do I move through the survey?
Each section of the survey appears on a separate tab in this workbook. Click on the tabs below to view and complete each section of the survey. In each section, enter information or select answers in fields with the labels "Click here and start typing" or "Click here and select from list". You can use the tab key or mouse button to move between answer fields. (Areas outside the answer fields are locked to prevent changes.) Please save your work frequently to ensure your answers are recorded.
How will survey data be used?
Information gathered through this survey will be used to help estimate the costs of activities related to program quality. All data will be treated in a private manner. Only members of the research team will have access to survey responses. The study team will only report estimates of the overall costs and the costs of different program activities and components at an aggregate level. Estimates for individual programs will not be reported.
Thank you for your participation in this important study.
This survey was prepared by Mathematica Policy Research with support from the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation.
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0970-0355 . The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 6.5 hours per response, including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the information collection. If you have comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, OS/OCIO/PRA, 200 Independence Ave., S.W., Suite 336-E, Washington D.C. 20201, Attention: PRA Reports Clearance Officer
