The goals of the Assessing the Implementation and Cost of High Quality Early Care and Education field test are to (1) refine the implementation measures to further improve their psychometric properties, (2) refine the cost measures to identify costs associated with each center function and across ages of children, and (3) test the associations between implementation, cost, and quality measures. This request is for the following nonsubstantive changes: 1) revisions to our time use survey; and 2) updates to our currently approved experiments looking at the timing of a token of appreciation. An accompanying memo describes the background and details of the request.

We discovered issues with the quality of data coming from the time use survey (TUS) in the field test. We propose to administer a revised version of the TUS with the entire field test sample, which means re-administering with respondents who completed the TUS in the Spring/Summer of 2021. The TUS has been revised and the version for the fall is slightly shorter than the version administered previously. Burden estimates were updated to reflect these changes.
