Summary: National Picture
• Part C and Part B Preschool have gone from
having no data in 2003 to 4 years worth of data
by 2011.
• There are still issues with the data but it
continues to improve because of state diligence.
• No other national early childhood program has
this kind of information.
• No other program in the U.S. Department of
Education has this kind of information.
