Abstract: This OMB package requests an extension of 3 months of clearance to complete the data collection for the currently approved data collection instruments to be used in the Study of the Program for Infant Toddler Care (PITC). This "Regional Educational Laboratory - West" study will measure the impact of the PITC on child care quality and children’s development. The evaluation will be conducted by Berkeley Policy Associates in partnership with the University of Texas at Austin and SRM Boulder. Evaluation measures include baseline and follow-up questionnaires for parents, programs, and caregivers; baseline and follow-up program observations; and two rounds of child observations/interviews to measure children’s language, social and cognitive development.
