Case study: Implementing the Essential 0-5 Survey across 25 early childhood campuses: Scaling program improvement by giving leaders autonomy and a common framework

Description:

At Child Care Associates in Texas, the central office team noticed that, after a period of gains, its CLASS evaluations of childcare and Head Start/Early Head Start providers had plateaued. System leaders decided it was time to change how they approached outcomes improvement and they made three important decisions: 1) Shift ownership of CCA’s education vision from the central office to instructional leaders at CCA’s campuses 2) Recommit to listening to families across the organization, using their perceptions about their experience at CCA as a critical performance measure 3) Implement The Essential 0-5 Survey from Start Early across 25 campuses to provide a unified program improvement framework to support leaders in this transition and to provide a meaningful process for families to share their perspective.
