This metric is part of the Education-to-Workforce (E-W) Indicator Framework, specifically “E-W system conditions” which pertain to institutional or systemic environments, policies, and practices within E-W systems that support positive E-W outcomes. (https://educationtoworkforce.org/sites/default/files/2023-04/E-W-Indicator-Framework_ChapterII_Indicators-and-metrics_0.pdf)
This metric is a measurement for a key indicator, “Access to Full-Day Pre-K,” and measures whether children have access to full-day, publicly funded pre-K programs.
Metric: Percentage of public pre-K programs that are six hours per day for five days per week.
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the year for which the data will be measured:
1. Early Learning Program Year = the most recent early learning program year, representing July 1 through June 30.
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of organizations:
1. Pull all unique organizations where the organization:
a. is associated with a State Education Agency through the State Agency Identifier where State Agency Identification System = State, and
b. is associated with a Local Education Agency through the Local Education Agency Identifier where Local Education Agency Identification System = SEA, and
c. is associated with a K12 school through the School Identifier where School Identification System = SEA or Organization Identifier where Organization Identification System - Other. (If your state's early learning systems are not associated with public schools, use Organization Identifier.)
From the universe of organizations, narrow the list to public pre-K programs that are six hours per day for five days per week using the following CEDS elements: (If "full-day" in your state is not defined as "six hours per day for five days per week," change the number of Hours Available Per Day, and the number of Days Per Week to align with whatever your organization has defined as "full-day.")
1. Early Childhood Program Enrollment Type = Public Pre-kindergarten
2. Hours Available Per Day = 6 hours
3. Days Available Per Week = 5 days
Divide the number of organizations that offer public pre-K programs that are six hours per day for five days per week by the total number of organizations offering public pre-K programs, then multiply by 100.
