Title of Collection: Early Childhood
Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class

Collection, National Sampling, and
National Recruitment.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0750.

collection.

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The Early Childhood
Longitudinal Study (ECLS) program,
conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) within the
Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of
the U.S. Department of Education (ED),
draws together information from
multiple sources to provide rich,
descriptive data on child development,
early learning, and school progress. The
ECLS program studies deliver national
data on children’s status at birth and at
various points thereafter; children’s
transitions to nonparental care, early
care and education programs, and
school; and children’s experiences and
growth through the elementary grades.
The Early Childhood Longitudinal
Study, Kindergarten Class of 2022–23
(ECLS–K:2023) is the fourth cohort in
the series of early childhood
longitudinal studies. The study will
advance research in child development
and early learning by providing a
detailed and comprehensive source of
current information on children’s early
learning and development, transitions
into kindergarten and beyond, and
progress through school. The ECLS–
K:2023 will provide data about the
population of children who will be
kindergartners in the 2022–23 school
year, and will go beyond its predecessor
kindergarten cohort studies by adding a
round of data collection in the spring
prior to children’s kindergarten year,
known as the ‘‘preschool round.’’
Collecting parent data beginning in
preschool will enable the study to
measure influences on children’s
development before entry into formal
schooling, including children’s home
environments and access to early care
and education. The ECLS–K:2023 will
focus on children’s early school
experiences continuing through the fifth
grade, and will include collection of
data from parents, teachers, and school
administrators, as well as direct child
assessments. A previous request to
conduct a field test of the ECLS–K:2023
preschool data collection activities from
January through October 2020, to field
test the preschool data collection
materials and procedures, was approved
in November 2019, with updates in
January and July 2020. This ECLS–
K:2023 preschool field test will be
followed by the kindergarten-first grade
field test (planned for August–December
2021), the spring preschool national
data collection (January–June 2022), and
the fall (August–December 2022) and
spring (March–July 2023) kindergarten
national data collections. In this
package, burden is requested for several
new parts of the project, including K–
1 Field Test Recruitment, K–1 Field Test
Data Collection, and the beginning of
the National Study Recruitment.
