Early childhood services study: 2017 General Session SB 100

Description:
This report establishes a framework through which Utah improves outcomes for children, 0-5 years by identifying goals and measuring progress toward those goals. The framework provides an examination of early childhood services and programs in the state that encompasses multiple dimensions of a child's experience. It is important for a young child to have opportunities at home and elsewhere for growth and development, but it is also important for a child to live in a healthy and stable environment. In order to organize and explore the various programs, services, resources, and needs of early childhood in Utah, four domains are identified as being equally important to children and families: family support and safety; health and development; early learning; and economic stability. In each domain, lead indicators are identified to establish a baseline from which to identify gaps and measure progress towards the goal in each domain. In addition, the primary programmatic supports are highlighted in each domain. By considering each of these aspects and the interrelated nature of the four domains' contribution to the whole child, policymakers and practitioners ensure that each Utah child is not just surviving, but thriving.
