CHILD CARE ADMINISTRATIVE DATA ANALYSIS

该项目采用了一系列多元统计方法，并使用了来自几个国家机构和幼儿教育和支助方案提供者的行政数据，旨在：（1）确定俄克拉荷马州各地优质幼儿教育和家庭服务计划的可用性差距，（2）确定儿童保育和发展基金（CCDF）儿童保育补贴对入学准备的影响，以及（3）调查领取补贴的家庭概况的变化。这项研究旨在通过解决与幼儿教育和儿童保育有关的若干问题，为政策决策和资源分配提供信息。这些问题包括试图在全州范围内有效地分配幼儿教育资源，而没有全面和完整地了解县级的需求和服务;对儿童发展基金补贴的儿童保育对入学准备的影响以及对入学准备不足风险因素较高的儿童是否与风险因素较少的儿童一样受益或受益更多的了解有限;不完全了解谁从CCDF福利中受益最多，而谁正在获得福利;以及对CCDF计划的削减在多大程度上影响了那些最需要的人的获得的了解有限。

Applying a selection of multivariate statistical methods and using administrative data from several state agencies and providers of early childhood education and support programs, this project aims to: (1) identify gaps in the availability of quality early childhood education and family service programs across Oklahoma, (2) determine the effect of Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) child care subsidies on school readiness, and (3) investigate changes in the profile of families who receive subsidies. The study is intended to inform policy decision-making and resource allocation by addressing several problems related to early childhood education and child care. These problems include attempting to effectively distribute early childhood education resources statewide without the benefit of a comprehensive and complete picture of needs and services at the county level; limited knowledge of the effect of CCDF subsidized child care on school readiness and whether children with higher risk factors for school un-readiness benefit equally or more so than children with fewer risk factors; an incomplete understanding of who benefits the most from CCDF benefits compared to who is accessing benefits; and limited knowledge of the extent to which reductions in the CCDF program affected access by those most in need.
