The Virginia Early Childhood Foundation developed these data resources to support Ready Regions and community stakeholders to target investments and make strategic decisions to ensure school-ready children, work-ready parents, and thriving communities.

The dashboard and other resources contain integrated data from a variety of data sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau, the Virginia Department of Education, VECF, and the University of Virginia, to provide comprehensive information on:

• the demand for Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) in Virginia;
• the supply of ECCE, including publicly funded slots; and
• child and family outcomes.

Ready Region ECCE Supply/Demand Dashboard

The data displayed in this dashboard is available for every locality in Virginia and is updated annually in the late winter/early spring. Please contact Becky Tippett at becky@vecf.org with any questions about the dashboard or data.
