This dashboard illustrates the number of eligible families who “uptake” ECEAP or Head Start preschool slots. It shows the number of children served by ECEAP or Head Start as a proportion of the selected population filters.
You may view the Uptake rate by County, Legislative District, School District, or by ZIP Code Tabulated Areas (ZCTAs). You may also switch map modes to either include or exclude children receiving Working Connections Child Care Subsidies (WCCC) from the population.
