Mapping the Early Care and Education Monitoring Landscape

Mapping the Early Care and Education Monitoring Landscape is designed to help state/territory leaders document the early care and education (ECE) monitoring systems that are currently in place, so they can more effectively plan strategies to coordinate monitoring across the various sets of regulations. It is intended as a companion to the Coordinated Monitoring Systems for Early Care and Education brief (Maxwell, Sosinsky, Tout, & Hegseth, 2016). The brief provides a framework and considerations to support discussions and planning of coordinated monitoring efforts; its appendix provides an overview of eight major early care and education monitoring systems.
