KIDS COUNT®

The New York State KIDS COUNT® project disseminates county-level data that focuses on child well-being in order to advance the use of children’s health, education and well-being indicators as a tool for policy development, planning and accountability. For state-level data and national comparisons, explore the Annie E. Casey Data Center and the 2024 KIDS COUNT® Data Book.

Early Childhood
Data Dashboard

The PDGB5 grant in 2023 provided support for the development of an early childhood data dashboard. 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.
