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. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the field test data collection scheduled for 2020 could not proceed as planned. The study team consulted with external experts and gathered input from ACF program offices to guide next steps. We received approval for a nonsubstantive change request in March 2021 to conduct data collection in centers that had previously participated in the study this spring. However, based on the referenced consultations, the study team would like add to the sample of centers and engage centers that have not participated before (up to the approved 80 centers under this control number—some that previously participated in earlier phases and some new centers). This change is in line with the plans for the original field test – prior to the March 2021 change request. We revised the study materials and instruments to be applicable to a broader set of centers in line with the original intent of the field test.
