Early Education Reports


Description

Each early education contractor who maintains an agreement with the California Department of Education (CDE) must regularly submit information about their program operations. These reports permit various CDE offices to determine the number and types of families served, monitor program costs, or assess agency compliance with contract terms.

Schedule of Reports

The following tables list each mandatory report by month and the corresponding due date. It's important to note that some of these reports are only mandatory depending on the agency's classification and the specific programs they operate. We recommend that all agencies review Management Bulletin 24-08, which outlines the requirements in detail and specifies which reports apply to various program types and agency classifications.

Use the letter designation within the Report Type column to determine which of the following offices or individuals to contact for assistance with report preparation.
