Collection methods: | The number of hours that children are enrolled in an early childhood education program should be collected for each early childhood education program available at the service. These data should then be aggregated to the service provider level for reporting purposes. The total number of hours of an early childhood education program children are enrolled to receive should be reported for the specified reference period. Jurisdictions which adopt a two week reference period are required to derive their data to a representative reference week. |
