Early Learning Information System (ELIS)
The Early Learning Information System (ELIS) will be a centralized technology system that will provide critical information to early learning parents, partners, and providers. This includes 300,000 families whose children attend Voluntary Prekindergarten and School Readiness programs, 31 early learning coalitions, and several state agencies.
- ELIS will be used to administer a $1.1 Billion early learning budget where currently no interconnected technology system exists.
- A feasibility study was completed March 2008 by a third-party vendor estimating a cost savings of $22 million a year due to enhanced efficiencies in program operations.
- The $22 million a year in cost savings could potentially be used to fund 5,500 more children every year in the school readiness program.
Benefits of ELIS include the following:
- Streamlines administrative processes including attendance tracking, eligibility processing, and provider payments.
- Reduces potential fraud and overpayments.
- Provides data sharing capabilities between educators, parents, providers, and state agencies.
- Provides parents with easy on-line access to child care resource and referral information along with a wealth of child development and early education information.
