Hi Natalie, we are in the process of trying to obtain more representative I/T data. However, at this point, we do not have anything to share beyond the FACES data. You may want to look at Louisiana's state performance profiles, as they have included Toddler. However, you still have the question of how representative their sample is compared to yours.

HI Liz, yes I have seen this, the problem with this is FACES was a voluntary research study, so more than likely, high quality programs were included. Also we know Early Head Start ratios are lower and Teacher qualifications are higher so it really is not a "true" national average. I'm sure most EHS programs are scoring higher than the general infant toddler child care programs across the country. That would be great data to have.

Hi @Natalie Jackson, this is a common question, and unfortunately, Teachstone does not have national CLASS data on Infant/Toddler programs. Data from the 2015 Early Head Start Baby Faces study reports the following data for participating EHS Toddler classrooms, which is what you may have seen before.
It is important to note for other programs who wish to compare their Toddler CLASS data recognize that their program demographics may not be the same as those in EHS, which could limit the comparability of the data. You may also find this interesting, though it's prek only: https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/data-ongoing-monitoring/article/national-overview-grantee-class-scores-2018

Does anyone have the national averages for each domain for the infant and toddler CLASS. I know they covered it in the training but I cannot find it in my materials.
