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. The Oakland ECEcosystem 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 Oakland Early Childhood Ecosystem Data Portal is managed by Oakland Starting Smart and Strong, an early childhood collaborative that envisions a city where all Oakland children, families and early educators flourish. Learn more about our reports, tools, and latest work. Thank you to our partners at OUSD, First 5 Alameda County, and others who have contributed to this portal.
