| Abstract: | A national poll from the Data Quality Campaign (DQC), conducted by The Harris Poll, surveyed early childhood administrators--educational or child care professionals in program director or general manager roles serving children from birth through age four--to find out how they are collecting, using, and reporting data. Early childhood administrators clearly voiced that while data is essential for their work, they lack access to data that is presented in ways that are most useful and find that the collecting and reporting of that data tends to be inefficient, if not overwhelming. As states enhance their own data infrastructure--through an early childhood integrated data system, a statewide longitudinal data system, or both--state leaders must ensure that those enhancements benefit early childhood administrators as well as other local data users. |
