Abstract	Over the past decade, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners have increasingly come to recognize the importance of quality in early care and education. Along with this recognition is compelling evidence that sound administrative practices help ensure high-quality learning opportunities for young children. Since its first publication in 2004, the "Program Administration Scale: Measuring Early Childhood Leadership and Management" (PAS) has been used across the country to reliably measure and improve center-based leadership and management practices. Data collected by the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership since 2011 are examined in this report to provide the most current picture of the administrative practices of a large, national sample of center-based programs. The PAS assessments included in this analysis were conducted by certified PAS assessors. To become certified, PAS assessors must first achieve reliability (a score of at least 86%) on a test conducted after four days of training on the tool. Next, they must conduct two PAS assessments within three months of reliability training. The completed assessments are reviewed by PAS national anchors for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The data for this study consisted of approved PAS assessments collected during the certification process from 693 center-based early care and education programs representing 31 states and the District of Columbia.
