Prior data processing skills managing the loading and retention of data including field validation rules and error reporting. The Assessment data will be maintained in an Early Childhood Warehouse to support the reporting of progress and analytical reporting.

If time permits there is new functionality to add the collection of summary level Childhood Screening Data from the Early Learning System Application to reduce the number of collections needed for Early Childhood Data Reporting.
