Several evaluations are conducted each year to measure the effectiveness of care provided to young children. The evaluation process is helpful for many reasons. First, it helps families to realize the effectiveness of the programs in which their children are enrolled. Second, it helps program providers to realize how their strategies are working and where they need to focus future efforts. Third, it provides concrete information to decision makers about how programs are addressing needs at the state level, and identifies areas requiring technical assistance or training for program personnel. Through this approach, the overall impact of the early care and education system can be measured. Below are web versions of our most recent evaluations related to early care and education programming in the State of Delaware:
