Abstract: The National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES), within the 

Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of 

the U.S. Department of Education (ED), 

is seeking approval to conduct in 2014, 

2015, and 2016 the annual, web-based 

State of Preschool survey, which 

centralizes data about publicly provided 

early childhood education 

opportunities. Data are collected from 

state agencies responsible for providing 

early childhood education and made 

available for secondary analyses. Data 

collected as part of the survey focus on 

enrollment counts in state-funded early 

childhood education programs, funding 

provided by the states for these 

programs, and program monitoring and 

licensing policies. The collected data 

are then reported, both separately and in 

combination with extant data available 

from federal agencies supporting early 

childhood education programs such as 

Head Start and the U.S. Census Bureau. 

Data from the U.S. Census Bureau form 

the basis for some of the rates developed 

for the State of Preschool reports. The 

data and annual report resulting from 

the State of Preschool data collection 

provide a key information resource for 

research and for federal and state policy 

on publicly funded early childhood 

education.
