CHILD CARE ADMINISTRATIVE DATA ANALYSIS

应用多元统计方法，并使用几个州机构和幼儿教育和支持计划提供者的管理数据，该项目旨在：(1)确定俄克拉荷马州优质幼儿教育和家庭服务计划的可获得性方面的差距，(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)调查接受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几个问题，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一级的需求和服务；对CCDF资助的托儿服务对入学准备情况的影响，以及有较高上学困难风险因素的儿童是否获得与风险因素较少的儿童同等或更多的好处的了解有限；对与获得福利的人相比，谁从CCDF福利中受益最大的认识不全面；以及对CCDF计划的削减在多大程度上影响最有需要的人的获得知之甚少。

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.
