Implementation in Data Set Specifications: | National Preschool Attendance Collection DSS 2024 Early Childhood, Recorded 16/05/2024 Conditional obligation: This item is conditional on a CODE 2 'Preschool program offering less than 600 hours' response to Child—preschool program type enrolment, YBFS code N. DSS specific information: This item is used to record the maximum annual preschool program hours available to the child at the service, regardless of child-specific enrolment dates. For example, if a program offers 600 hours in a year, 600 program hours would be reported even if a child enrolled part-way through the year. Include hours attended in non-instructional activities such as recess, tea breaks and lunch breaks if the child remained under the supervision of the service provider for these activities. If the child attends more than one preschool program in a given day, non-instructional or waiting times between programs should be excluded in the count of hours. For example, if a child attends a morning preschool program at a provider and later returns to attend an afternoon preschool program at the same provider. Where the service provider offers other integrated childcare services, the hours associated with these services should be excluded from this data element. Centre Based Day Care |
