Please join the National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE) team on Thursday, January 23rd, from 12-1 pm central time (1-2 pm ET, 10-11 am PT) to learn how researchers are leveraging the 2012 NSECE data to broaden our knowledge of the early care and education (ECE) landscape.
Research teams from the University of California, Berkeley, and the Urban Institute will present innovative methods and findings using the 2012 NSECE data. Their work demonstrates the NSECE’s capability to inform substantive research questions, to link to other data sources, and to produce national and state-level estimates. Descriptions of the presentations can be found below.

Marcy Whitebook and Bethany Edwards, The Center for the Study of Child Care Employment (CSCCE) at the University of California, Berkeley
The Center for the Study of Child Care Employment (CSCCE) at the University of California, Berkeley has utilized public-use and restricted-use NSECE data to provide an in-depth portrait of the center-based and home-based listed child care workforce at both the national- and state-level. The team will present findings from two recent reports, "California’s ECE Workforce: What We Know Now and the Data Deficit That Remains" and "The Early Childhood Workforce Index 2018," shedding light on the working conditions of early educators and the diversity and disparities that exist amongst the workforce.
Erica Greenberg, Urban Institute
The NSECE is well-suited to large-scale research studies as well as quick-turnaround analyses designed to answer pressing questions of policy and practice. Greenberg will present an OPRE-funded study titled “Are Higher Subsidy Payment Rates and Provider-Friendly Payment Policies Associated with Child Care Quality?” Published in 2018, this study links NSECE restricted-use geographic center-based and home-based data files with data from the CCDF Policies Database, ACF-801 data, and other public-use sources. Second, she will present on a feature called “Segregated from the Start,” a national landscape study of segregation in early care and education using methodology common in other fields. This new analysis explores segregation within ECE and between ECE and K-12 schooling using Public-Use center-based and home-based NSECE data, along with the Common Core of Data and Private School Universe Survey, generating novel findings and motivating a new program of research.
