How will we know if every child in Ohio has the opportunity to reach their full potential?
Published January, 2023

We began work on an Early Childhood Dashboard in 2021 that would answer that question and help inform policymakers about the realities facing Ohio families with young children. After two years of extensive research, fact-gathering, and input from children and family experts throughout the state, including families themselves, we are proud to release the completed Early Childhood Dashboard. This first-of-its kind accounting incorporates more than 60 metrics across six domains spotlighting the immense challenges and broad inequities faced by the families in our state.
