Introduction
Early Education (EE) Enrollment reports children and families’ participation in Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) and School Readiness (SR) programs including children’s Status Begin and End Dates and attendance during that time.
Early Education Enrollment is built on the Ed-Fi system that also collects information for MARSS.
See the Ed-Fi page on the Minnesota Department of Education website.
See the Ed-Fi Resources page and select "Early Education" from the "Data Collection" drop down box on the left-side toolbar for resources to help with EE Enrollment.
Click here for the Early Education Enrollment page. Search on "Early Education" or on "EDVP" for the Education Data Validation Portal to see what data has landed at MDE after syncing.
The Ed-Fi Data Validation Portal (EDVP) is where LEAs and MDE staff view data that is submitted via Ed-Fi. Users can view validation and dynamic reports for various program areas to check for data accuracy and can search the validation dictionary for more in-depth explanation of warnings and errors.

The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) manages the Early Learning Scholarships Program under Minnesota Statutes, section 142D.25.
This program provides scholarships to income-eligible families to increase access to high-quality early childhood programs for three- and four-year-old children with the highest needs, in order to improve school readiness for all young children. Priority for scholarships will be given based on family income,
child poverty and geographic region.
The program is managed using the Early Learning Scholarships Administrative (ELSA) System, which is available to authorized Scholarship Administrators and School District SSID Maintainers.
Introduction
The Minnesota Automated Reporting Student System (MARSS) collects student data required by more than one area of the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) via one system. Minnesota Automated Reporting Student Web Edit System (MWES) is the system used to gather Minnesota districts information. Components of ECSE, EC Screening, VPK and SRP are reported in MARSS.
This crucial data is the primary data MDE uses to make payment of funds to local school districts. Data collected by MARSS are used for a variety of purposes, including state aid and levy calculations, federal grant allocations, federal and state civil rights reporting, unduplicated child count, and National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).

District and School Site Verification
The District and School Site Verification System is a web-accessible collection tool that enables updates to the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) master directory of organizational units, which controls the processing of data on other MDE major systems such as MARSS, STAR, UFARS, FNS, IDEAS, LEVIES and the AYP Report Card.
It is essential that contact information be kept up to date. Districts are asked to update changes to contact information whenever necessary throughout the year.
Please connect with your district’s Site Verification Coordinator (SVC) to make sure your sites are listed, or accurately listed.
MDE_ORG lists information on Minnesota's high schools, middle schools and elementary schools. This is simply the process of building early education sites into that same system that is updated annually by the Site Verification Coordinator. Among other purposes, MDE will be uses this system as a main list of email and contact information.
