New Resource: Oakland Early Childhood Ecosystem Data Portal

Oakland’s early childhood community has a wide variety of research and data on our Early Childhood (EC) Ecosystem. However, these resources are often spread across many websites, email newsletters, and more, which means data may not be easily accessible. To address this issue, OSSS has launched a new Oakland ECEcosystem Data Portal. The Data Portal is a tool for families, educators/providers, policymakers, advocates, and funders who seek to leverage data to understand our early childhood landscape and strengthen systems for young children and their families.

The portal’s key resources are:

OSSS partners from OUSD and First 5 Alameda contributed to the portal, and the OSSS Lead Planning Team and Data Committee informed its development.  Unless indicated otherwise, OSSS developed the portal’s data resources. As new resources become available, they will be added to the website. If you or your organization would like to add data, please contact [email protected]. ​
