Description
The State of Oregon, Department of Early Learning and Care, is seeking a ChildCare Management Software Services provider. The primary goal of this project is to strengthen DELC's ability to understand and analyze the supply, utilization, and business health of both subsidized and unsubsidized child care across the state. This includes assessing the feasibility of integrating data from Child Care Management Systems (CCMS) into DELC's existing platform SnowFlake to support more timely, accurate, and actionable insights for policy, operations, and reporting. The project also hopes to lay the groundwork for sustainable data exchange by evaluating integration options and preparing providers and vendors through a structured change management approach.
Key points to consider:
• The primary source of data will come from child care providers using a CCMS with various cloud-based software solutions.
• The project will be a pilot phase with CCMS licenses delivered to a small focus group of child care providers to assess and discover their readiness to share structured data with DELC.
• The state does not expect the vendor to be on site in Salem.
• All proposals are welcome for implementation planning.
