Introducing the Early Childhood Data Hub

The Illinois Early Childhood Asset Map (IECAM) at the University of Illinois is leading the development of an Early Childhood Data Hub, which will serve as a comprehensive interactive tool for researchers, ECE administrators, state agencies, advocates, and other stakeholders in Illinois to access and work with early childhood program and demographic data. The Data Hub will feature state-of-the-art technology that will let users interact with integrated datasets from state agencies that weren’t available before on a single platform. The Home Visiting Team at the School of Social Work’s Center for Prevention Research and Development (CPRD) contributed to this data set with data from maternal and child home visiting programs and Head Start.
