DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Administration for Children and 

Families 

Submission for Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) Review; 2024 

National Survey of Early Care and 

Education Longitudinal Follow-ups 

(OMB #: 0970–0391) 

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, Administration for 

Children and Families, Department of 

Health and Human Services. 

ACTION: Request for public comments. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), is proposing a data 

collection activity to be conducted 

January 2025 through December 2025 as 

a follow-up of the 2024 National Survey 

of Early Care and Education (NSECE). 

The objectives of the 2024 NSECE 

Longitudinal Follow-ups are to build on 

the design and implementation of the 

2024 NSECE to collect urgently needed 

information on the following two topics 

relevant to early care and education 

(ECE) policy: (1) how households learn 

about and make use of financial 

assistance in seeking and selecting ECE, 

with additional focus on paid 

individual care arrangements; and (2) 

patterns of retention and attrition among 

individuals in the center-based ECE 

workforce. 

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of 

publication. OMB must make a decision 

about the collection of information 

between 30 and 60 days after 

publication of this document in the 

Federal Register. Therefore, a comment 

is best assured of having its full effect 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. You can also obtain 

copies of the proposed collection of 

information by emailing 

OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov. 

Identify all requests by the title of the 

information collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: The 2024 NSECE 

Longitudinal Follow-ups will consist of 

two nationally representative surveys 

drawing from 2024 NSECE respondents: 

1. a survey of households (1) with 

incomes under 300 percent of the 

federal poverty level (FPL) and/or (2) 

who had used paid care by an 

individual in 2024 (2024 NSECE 

Household Follow-up) 

2. a survey of individuals who were 

employed in 2024 in center-based ECE 

programs working directly with 

children in classrooms serving children 

age 5 years and under, not yet in 

kindergarten (2024 NSECE Workforce 

Follow-up). 

Participants will be drawn from 

respondents to the 2024 NSECE 

Household and Workforce surveys. 

The 2024 NSECE Longitudinal 

Follow-up data collection efforts will 

provide urgently needed information 

that will expand the potential of the 

2024 NSECE data to describe: (1) 

households’ search for and use of 

financial assistance for ECE (including 

assistance for paid individual care 

arrangements); and (2) employment 

experiences of individuals who have 

recently worked in center-based ECE 

classrooms. 

The household follow-up in early 

2025 will re-interview households 

participating in the 2024 NSECE who (1) 

report using paid individual ECE or (2) 

report incomes below 300 percent of the 

FPL. The workforce follow-up in late 

2025 will re-interview individuals who 

participated in the 2024 NSECE 

workforce survey (i.e., served as centerbased classroom-assigned instructional 

staff between January and November 

2024). Both follow-up surveys are 

designed to collect in-depth information 

that was not feasible to collect in the 

2024 NSECE and which can be uniquely 

collected through re-interviews of 

selected 2024 NSECE participants. The 

household follow-up will include 

information about households’ 

awareness of and experience with 

publicly funded ECE programs, how 

households selected ECE arrangements 

for Fall 2024, and who provided paid 

individual care to the households’ 

children in 2024. The workforce followup will include information about the 

experiences of ECE instructional staff 

over time, where workers who leave 

ECE employers or the ECE sector go and 

why they leave, and workers’ 

experiences in various ECE settings 

throughout their ECE careers. Accurate 

data on families with young children 

and the experiences of ECE workers are 

essential to assess the current landscape 

of ECE, and to provide insights to 

advance ECE policy and initiatives. The 

household follow-up will be fielded 

using multi-mode survey methodologies 

in early 2025, and the workforce followup will be fielded using multi-mode 

survey methodologies in the last half of 

2025. Both follow-ups will enhance the 

value of the 2024 NSECE by expanding 

the potential utility of those data to 

describe household and worker 

experiences over time and to address 

additional information needs. 

Respondents: 1. Households 

participating in the 2024 NSECE and 

reported either a. a paid individual ECE 

arrangement in 2024, or b. income 

under the 300 percent Federal poverty 

level in 2024. 2. Individuals who 

participated in the 2024 NSECE survey 

of center-based classroom-assigned 

instructional staff (workforce).
