See Our New Outcomes Dashboard
We are pleased to present our new Outcomes Dashboard – an online tool that provides detailed information about how we invest our funds and the many ways children and families benefit as a result.
The dashboard is divided into six buttons with information about our investments, demographics of children and parents served, and key outcomes related to child care quality improvements, preschool enrollment, early intervention services, and support for at-risk families.
