Data reporting

Accurate program and service records are an important part of maintaining funding eligibility as a provider and for the families receiving services. OECE funded providers are required to use several data systems to report about the programs services, enrollment and attendance, professional development, and vacancies.

For more details about data reporting requirements, review the ELS-PFA Operating Guidelines.

Mocha

Starting in July 2021, Mocha will be the attendance tracking, payment generating, and enrollment data system of record for OECE. Mocha will be available for use by all providers and programs funded by OECE, although as of now only formerly Cocoa-using programs are required to use it.

Cocoa

Cocoa is the attendance tracking and enrollment data system for programs receiving Early Learning Scholarship Reserved, Moderate, Gap on Title 5 or Preschool for All funding from OECE. Cocoa holds reported program and child information that is used to calculate provider payments and can generate required forms for state and federal reporting.

PLEASE NOTE: Access to Cocoa will end on July 1, 2021. All users will transition to Mocha as the new enrollment and attendance system of record. Cocoa data from the last two years (7/1/2019 through 6/8/2021) will be imported and available to you in Mocha. To view data prior to 7/1/2019, we recommend downloading any needed reports before June 30th, 2021.

Web-based Early Learning System (WELS)

The Web-based Early Learning System (WELS) tracks data, ratings, and quality improvement work for programs participating in the Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS).  The portal allows programs to access and enter information, view assessment data details, upload documentation, and collaborate on quality improvement efforts with coaches. All OECE-funded programs must commit to achieving and maintaining a Tier 3 rating or higher throughout the funding period.
