Our Data Dashboard serves as a tool for understanding the strengths and challenges facing the systems serving children and families.

Groundwork Ohio has been working diligently for the last two years to bring you the release of the 2025 Early Childhood Dashboard, our second edition building upon the foundational work established in our inaugural Dashboard published in 2023. This updated resource reflects our ongoing commitment to sharing a more complete story of experiences of Ohio’s youngest children and their families, enabling us to track progress, identify ongoing challenges, and learn from improvements over the past two years.
