A new state-by-state analysis reveals that, because early childhood and education data are largely siloed by program and state agency, many policymakers struggle to use this data to improve and support their programs.

Easy-to-use interactive maps and state profiles allow users to explore the capacity of individual states to link child-, program-, and workforce-level data.
