Initiative Overview

What is this new initiative all about?

  • Data can now be captured in PELICAN for federally-funded Head Start (HS) and Early Head

Start (EHS) providers and the children enrolled in those programs.

  • This initiative will provide the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) with

the ability to better understand the range, access and quality of early childhood programs in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

  • This initiative will also provide participating HS/EHS providers with access to their children’s

3rd grade aggregate outcomes reports from the PSSAs.

What are the highlights?

  • Providers and vendors will be able to input basic provider and child demographic information

into a template and then upload the template into PELICAN.

  • Providers will be able to access Provider Self Service (PSS) to set up a new user account. This

will allow providers to then link to PELICAN for their data uploads.

  • Child Longitudinal Outcomes Report

– A new location report titled the “Child Longitudinal Outcomes Report” will be available to providers. This report will display comprehensive data for children from Kindergarten through grade 3. – Aggregate child outcome data generated in this report will be displayed by location, program and school district. – This report will be generated overnight and will be available as a PDF file.

Provider Self-Service (PSS) Overview

PELICAN Provider Self Service (PSS) helps early learning and child care providers manage their working relationship with both their clients and the Department of Public Welfare. It allows providers to:

  • Manage child care certification renewals and applications online
  • View and update your provider search profile.

– This profile is used by parents and members of the public when searching for early learning providers in Pennsylvania. – Keeping your profile up to date helps your location show up in search results when parents look for a provider – The early learning provider search can be found at https://www.humanservices.state.pa.us/compass.web/ProviderSearch/pgm/PSWEL.aspx

  • For regulated providers participating in subsidized child care, you can submit your monthly

attendance invoice to your CCISs

– Reduce paper use, time spent filing, mailing costs – Get access to your invoice at the beginning of each month

  • This allows you to see the expected schedule of all your subsidy kids ahead of time
  • You can start entering attendance immediately instead of waiting till the end of the month

– Receive electronic notification of any enrollment or co-pay changes. You’ll no longer have to wait for the enrollment summary to get to you in the mail. – Receive electronic copies of your payment summaries. – And much more!

  • Provider Self Service also serves as an information hub, providing links to a variety of early learning

sites around the Web.

A user guide for PSS is located on the PSS Home Page , by clicking on the “Learn about Provider Self Service” link. 5
