The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), a part of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), is asking for public comments on an information collection related to their study, Variations in Implementation of Quality Interventions (VIQI). The study aims to evaluate and improve early care and education (ECE) centers. They are seeking a 3-year extension to gather more data, make adjustments based on previous research, and consider new factors caused by COVID-19. Comments on the necessity, accuracy, and burden of the collection, as well as suggestions for minimizing it, are welcomed.
Simple Explanation
The government is asking people to share their thoughts on a project to help make preschool and daycare better. They want to keep learning about it for three more years and need ideas on how to do it right, especially because things have changed with COVID-19.
