Abstract
The Early Learning Programme Outcomes Study examines the relative effectiveness of different programmes that aim to improve the early learning outcomes of young children (three- to five-year-olds) from low-income backgrounds. Descriptive analyses were undertaken five of these programmes. The study investigated their relative effectiveness, as well as the contribution of child, programme, and home factors to a change in the children’s ELOM performance over the course of the interventions. Children were assessed using the Early Learning Outcomes Measure (ELOM) from March to October 2018. Early Childhood Development practitioners were interviewed to gather data about the programme that may affect children’s early learning outcomes
Significant improvements in total ELOM scores were observed for all four programmes included in multi-level modelling, with the extent of change ranging from 13 to 20 ELOM standard score points. A summary report is provided with the dataset. The full technical report from the study is available on request from info@innovationedge.org.za

Scope
Notes
The ELOM measure includes both direct assessment of children's performance as well as an assessment of the child's social and emotional functioning and orientation to tasks. The ELOM Direct Assessment consists of 23 items measuring indicators of the child's early development in five domains:
Gross Motor Development
Fine Motor Coordination and Visual Motor Integration
Emergent Numeracy and Mathematics
Cognition and Executive Functioning
Emergent Literacy and Language
