In addition to county and statewide workforce assessments, CCSA has conducted research and produced reports profiling such topics as child care system issues, subsidy, careers in early childhood, child care fees and after school care. These studies provide important information to policy makers in our state government and in local communities.
To encourage the use and easy accessibility of data on the early care and education system, its users and providers, CCSA has also created the North Carolina Early Care and Education Data Repository. This tool allows users to find ECE data gathered from multiple data sources in one place. Users can find data at the county, region and state levels and can use pre-formatted fact sheets on various topics or can download spreadsheets of data.
Most of the information collected by CCSA's research staff comes from surveys mailed to ECE providers or families who use ECE programs. Additional information comes from state and national databases.
All research conducted by CCSA is paid for by contracts between a private or public agency requesting the information and CCSA. Example funders include, Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education, IAEYC, NMAEYC and the Virginia Department of Social Services.
