....................................................................................................... 11  \nIntroduction  \nAnnually, the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) prepares the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) and Head Start Saturation Study to analyze access to Washington’s ECEAP and Head Start programs serving 3-and 4-yearolds. This study estimates the number of eligible children living within each school district boundary and calculates the percentage currently served. It assigns points for each district based on numbers and percentages of unserved children and child maltreatment rates. These data are used to sort districts into groups by priority for ECEAP slot expansion.  \nThis Saturation Study is part of the information DCYF uses to determine appropriate locations for ECEAP slots. Current or potential ECEAP contractors may also use this study to inform decisions to apply for ECEAP slots or move existing ECEAP slots to communities with high needs. When deciding the location of newslots, DCYF considers these data along with the availability of facilities, availability of qualified staff and readiness of early learning providers to offer high-quality ECEAP comprehensive education, family support, health, and nutrition services.  \nIn the 20","cbCaim7Z16V4xkOo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim7Z16V4xkOo","pdf",937056,25,"English","# Introduction\n# Methodology\n# Note about the continuity and methodology for this report\n# Unserved Eligible Children\n# Child Maltreatment Rate\n# Transition to Kindergarten\n# Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)\n# Kindergarten Readiness\n# ECEAP Expansion Priority Groups\n## ECEAP Expansion Priority Group 1\n## ECEAP Expansion Priority Group 2\n## ECEAP Expansion Priority Group 3\n## ECEAP Expansion Priority Group 4\n## ECEAP Expansion Priority Group 5\n## ECEAP Expansion Priority Group 6\n## ECEAP Expansion Priority Group 7\n# Saturation by School District Boundary Area","[{\"question\":\"What does the Saturation Study measure for each school district boundary?\",\"answer\":\"It estimates the number of eligible children living within each boundary and calculates the percentage currently served by ECEAP and Head Start.\"},{\"question\":\"How are districts prioritized for ECEAP slot expansion?\",\"answer\":\"The study assigns points for each district based on the numbers and percentages of unserved eligible children and on child maltreatment rates, then sorts districts into priority groups.\"},{\"question\":\"Why was the study’s methodology overhauled?\",\"answer\":\"ECEAP eligibility requirements changed under the Fair Start for Kids Act, shifting income eligibility from federal poverty level thresholds to state median income targets beginning for future entitlement years.\"}]","2023-24 ECEAP and Head Start Saturation Study | PDF",1792063060,63]
