We have data on Out-of-School Time providers, preschools and pre-k programs, and child care providers in family care homes and center-based programs.
How does Starting Point use our data?
Starting Point utilizes the data bank to identify neighborhoods with child care shortages, analyze income levels of parents seeking care, assess the demand for child care, and gather other relevant statistics. This information enables us to effectively plan and implement region-wide services and programs for families, providers, and the community.
For Ashtabula, Lake, Geauga, and Cuyahoga Counties, the data bank serves as a valuable resource, offering insights into the demographics and needs of children and their families. It is instrumental in grant writing and pinpointing areas where our impact can be most significant. This essential tool supports everyone working to enhance the lives of children and families in our region, including the Starting Point team.
