Spark was rolled out in 2014 and it was intended to go through an improvement cycle after being in operation for a few years. Small improvements and refinements have been made but no major overhaul was able to be done. Using the data and lessons learned from years of Spark participation as well as new input from Listening Workgroups, Spark is being redesigned to better meet the needs and preferences of Oregon’s diverse families, child care providers and early learning programs. Redesigned Spark will have an improvement cycle built into the system.
