Abstract

New York was pleased to be awarded the NYS Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (NYSB5), which supported a Statewide Birth through Five Needs Assessment to analyze the current landscape of the NYS ECCE system. This Needs Assessment was conducted by the Center for Human Services Research (CHSR) at the University of Albany, State University of New York (SUNY), in partnership with the NYSB5 grantee, the NYS Council on Children and Families, the ECAC, and the State’s child-serving agencies and stakeholders. Conducted from January 2019 until September 2019, this NYSB5 Needs Assessment used a methodical approach to comprehensively analyze the NYS birth through five ECCE system, and this resulting report includes the components and methodology followed. Notably, this Needs Assessment provides a first-ever opportunity for the State to examine the interrelatedness of the national, state, and local ECCE services and supports and to focus on historically overlooked populations, namely vulnerable children and families.
