Description:
The purpose of Utah's 2019 Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) Needs Assessment (Needs Assessment) is to provide insight into Utah's early childhood care and education (ECCE) mixed delivery system and how it can be better coordinated to meet the needs of children and families. Conducted in accordance with the 2019 PDG B-5 federal guidance, this Needs Assessment builds upon Utah's 2017 Early Childhood Services Study, which provided a general landscape overview and identified several needs and gaps in Utah's ECCE system and programs. Although the landscape remains similar in 2019, there is forward progress in some areas, including the creation of a statutorily defined state-level governance system, and increasing recognition that more can and should be done to support families in Utah.
