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), with a change request approved in January 2020 (OMB #1850-0750 v.20) This request is to update study respondent
materials, web surveys, and website designs that will be used in the ECLS-K:2023 fall 2020 follow-up portion of the preschool field
test data collection activities. Revisions were made to these materials based on additional review and to incorporate lessons
learned from the spring 2020 component of this preschool field test. The preschool fall follow-up field test for which this change
request pertains will conduct data collection from September through November 2020. The data collection period was extended by
a month relative to the period mentioned in the original package to permit adequate time for respondents to receive the survey
invitation and complete the survey before distribution of follow-up reminders. The requested changes do not affect the approved
total cost to the federal government for conducting this study, nor do they affect participant burden.
