Introduction

Purpose:

This monthly data dashboard is a tool for the Early Learning Leadership Team, designed to provide current information on the ‘health’ of critical strategic initiatives of Delaware’s Early Learning Challenge (ELC). The dashboard provides easy, quick access to information drawn from data sets across the three departments and five divisions participating in the ELC. Indicators are directly linked to and directly aligned with the ELC goals and strategies. The dashboard will, with continuous improvement, evolve and improve over time to best meet the requirements of the Early Learning Leadership Team for an effective management tool.

The first set of graphs and charts provide a quick overview of the key leading indicators, while the balance of the charts relate to measures (organized by goal, then by strategy) to drill down to the specific component activities under each strategy. The dashboard’s table of contents supplies an easy reference guide to the series of measures reflected in the dashboard.

The dashboard is maintained by the Office of Early Learning and is populated by data reported by or obtained from participating state agencies. Ideally, such a dashboard would be updated regularly from data in an integrated database, with the dashboard data being refreshed automatically. At present, the data (as indicated by the source documentation notes) comes from a variety of different databases across the departments. Workaround, or alternative methods, are used to obtain data not currently entered into or tracked through databases. As Delaware moves to development of an integrated early childhood database, the dashboard will move to a tool that is populated and regularly updated directly from that database.

The signal colors (red, yellow, green) are quick status indicators for each measure. The At-A-Glance page may be used to guide discussion at team meetings to identify opportunities for improvement, assess the effectiveness of new or different strategies or track the results from team problem-solving to ensure that annual targets are met and that all of the Challenge goals are achieved by December, 2015, the end of the grant period.

Delaware Early Learning Challenge Definitions

Child with High Needs: Children from birth through Kindergarten entry who are from low-income families (200%Federal Poverty Level) or otherwise in need of special assistance and support, including children who have disabilities or developmental delays; who are English learners; who reside on “Indian lands” as that term is defined by section 8013(6) of the ESEA; who are migrant, homeless or in foster care and other children as identified by the State. (Source: RTT-ELC Application Guidance, expiration date 02-29-12, p 14). Where data capability permits individual child tracking and counting/reporting, Delaware’s definition includes children who are Medicaid- and CHIP-enrollees as well as children who are at high risk of removal from home as indicated by enrollment in the DFS/DSCYF Treatment Unit. It is anticipated that, as data integration capacity grows, Delaware will be better able to identify and track these children and their enrollment in Stars.

Note: For the ELC Performance Measures Charts – the denominator is the total of children with high needs by program type as described on page 23 of the DE ELC application, specifically children in ECAP, Early Head Start and Head Start, Part B, Part C (who receive early intervention services in a child care setting), Title I-funded early learning and development programs and children with CCDF Subsidy/Purchase of Care.

Children with High Needs referred for services who received follow-up/treatment –

The number of children who participate In Part C (per footnote on Performance Measure Chart in federally approved RTT-ELC application)

Children with High Needs screened– The sum of young children (birth to age 5 years) receiving developmental screening through EPSDT, Part C/Child Development Watch, children screened via PEDS Online (including both via DPH portal and Nemours), and children screened via ASQ Online. As per footnote on Performance Measure Chart, some children may be double counted across these data sources.

Children with High Needs in Early Learning and Development Programs/Stars: In Year One and until such child-specific data is available (with the expectation of moving to child-specific reporting (with child name, DOB, address for each child enrolled in the program YTD /cumulative through the reporting period/CY year, OEL will reach out to participating state agencies and, where the program is operated by contract with the federal government, to the specific program director, to obtain data on the total number of children served by program during each year, and will, further, seek to obtaining data monthly or quarterly as part of the overall effort to track progress toward meeting goals over time to a) identify opportunities for improvement and b) ensure that targets are met.

For the purposes of ELC reporting, Stars programs should be counting and reporting regularly their enrollment (cumulative through the year). Ideally, the Stars database should include a field for entry (by provider) of date of entry of child into the program as well as last date on which child attended the program. Additional field where provider enters (monthly) the number of children in the program and indicates the PAYER (private, purchase of care, ECAP, HeadStart, Early HeadStart, Part B, Title 1 of ESEA) for each child by month forStars Programsis recommended.The count of programs in Stars will, for every performance measure, include ECAP, Early Head Start and Head Start, Part B and any Title I/ESEA-funded early learning and development programs that are in Stars at the end of the reporting period. Stars quality level or rating is defined as the Star level achieved by the program on the last day of the reporting period. Source of data will be the Stars database developed by DOE and used by DIEEC.

Part C Children in Stars Children who are in Part C where the consultation/intervention Part C services are provided in a child care setting/program (data not currently collected –collection of data is scheduled to begin January, 2013).

ELC Dashboard Graphs using this data: Graph 22

Early Learning and Development Programs receiving Purchase of Care Financial Subsidy - Any licensed early care and education program receiving financial purchase of care subsidy payment during the reporting period as reported by DSS/DHSS.

Licensed Programs Any early learning and development program that is licensed at any time during the reporting period.

NOTE: System level reporting will be significantly enhanced, including for accuracy and completeness, where children participating in Stars programs are identified by name and other key identifying information (e.g. DOB, Mother’s name) - sufficient to enable 3 point matching via warehouse for analysis), and reported so that the data may be incorporated into the data warehouse.

FOR ALL CHARTS ON THE EARLY LEARNING CHALLENGE DASHBOARD – Data across time is cumulative so that the overall, high level effect is that being tracked and assessed. In addition, where ELC is funding an increment of an initiative thereby increasing Delaware’s capacity to implement an initiative, it is the overall initiative indicators which are tracked (not just the numbers specific to the one or two FTE being contributed/funded by ELC). The effort is to track and assess overall impact of these initiatives on our state, young children and their families.
