Early Childhood System Performance Assessment Toolkit

The purpose of the Early Childhood System Performance Measure Toolkit is to provide: 1. a framework that identifies the key contributions of a well-functioning early childhood system; 2. a set of performance measures to assess those key contributions, either directly or by proxy; 3. new tools, when needed and possible, that enable system stakeholders to measure system performance in areas that have historically not had tools for measurement; 4. guidance for early childhood system stakeholders on how they can implement the performance measures; and, 5. an ongoing research agenda to continue to improve existing system performance measures or tools or to develop tools, where lacking.
