Abstract: The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort
(ECLS-B) is a nationally representative longitudinal study of children
born in the year 2001. The 24 month followup represents the second
round of data collection for members of this cohort. Children are
assessed using state of the art assessment tools, parents are
interviewed as well as child care providers. Together with the
Kindergarten component of this early childhood studies program, the
survey informs the research and general community about children's
health, early learning, development and education experiences. The
focus of this survey is on characteristics of children and their
families that influence children's first experiences with the demands
of formal schools as well as early health care and in- and out-of-home
experiences.
