What are the specific requirements for reporting child outcomes in the Early Learning Network?
All early childhood programs, including Accountability Block Grant Pre-Kindergarten Programs, Head Start State Supplemental Assistance Programs, Keystone STAR 3 and 4 childcare centers, and Pennsylvania PreK Counts Programs report outcome data three times each year. Child outcome data is reported in WSO/OSO on October 1, February 1, and May 15 of each year. At a minimum, each preschool-age child has the checklist component completed in WSO if the child is enrolled at the time when data is reported. At a minimum, each infant and toddler has the Developmental Profile component completed in OSO. The other tools in WSO/OSO, such as recording observations, portfolios, and/or Family Albums may be used at the discretion of the program. The use of these additional tools can enhance quality practices in early childhood programs and are strongly encouraged. Early Intervention Infant/Toddler and Preschool programs record child outcome data based on the child’s enrollment in the Early Intervention
