Focused on describing the complex early childhood mixed-delivery system in NYS, this tool provides county and regional data including the number of children under 6, demographics, number of licensed childcare slots, and funded enrollment for prekindergarten and Head Start. The dashboard also includes early childhood workforce data, QUALITYstarsNY ratings, and market rate by county cluster.
