The National Conference of State Legislatures hosted a webinar that focuses on how integrated early care and education data systems can inform policymakers and help answer questions about young children, families, programs, and services in their states.
Accurate data are important to state legislators in understanding and improving program accountability, addressing service gaps, enhancing quality and allocating limited resources. In addition to hearing more about the value of using data for services and supports for young children, learn about current state strategies to integrate data, including successes and obstacles faced.
