Statewide Birth Thru Age 5 Needs Assessment Survey
Commissioner of Education Mike Morath announced today that the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the Texas Early Learning Council are conducting a statewide birth-five needs assessment to better understand the needs of those accessing, providing, and supporting early childhood programs and services for children ages birth to five.
As part of this needs assessment, the Council is conducting a statewide survey from March 25 through April 5, 2019.
The survey is intended for:
- Families;
- Staff of early childhood programs and services (childcare, Head Start, public prekindergarten, early childhood intervention (ECI) and home visiting);
- Staff of early childhood organizations (membership organizations, advocacy organizations, workforce boards, ESCs, etc.); and
- Community organizations/partners (businesses, health service providers, local governments, religious organizations, etc.).
The survey can be accessed at: https://tea.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cUeyDqwqLh2u8V7.
Questions intended for families and staff of early childhood programs and services are available in both English and Spanish.
The survey results and the statewide needs assessment will be utilized by the Texas Early Learning Council to establish a statewide strategic plan. The strategic plan will focus on improving coordination and collaboration, promoting partnerships, increasing quality, reducing duplicative efforts, efficiently utilizing resources, and easing a child’s transition into kindergarten.
The statewide birth-five needs assessment is required for the Preschool Development Grant awarded to Texas by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Education. This grant is a collaboration between the Texas Department of Agriculture, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the Texas Department of State Health Service, TEA, the Texas Head Start State Collaboration Office, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Texas Workforce Commission.

Students Learn Big Concepts in CFB Pre-K
Students Learn Big Concepts in CFB Pre-K
Don’t let their diminutive size fool you. There’s a lot going on in those brains! At Pre-K at Furneaux Elementary, students are learning about their community. While they learn about neighborhoods, community, city services, and businesses, students pick up big concepts quickly. While some students read, others are role playing as employees and shoppers of their own tyke-sized Home Depot. Pre-K students build their own train tracks, play in a miniaturized town, and sort lumber while learning the concepts of how their neighborhood and community work together.
