The Project will analyze and disseminate early childhood information to funding agencies, legislators, policy makers, child and family agencies, and others. This will assist in identifying either gaps or duplications in service provision, and help to maximize scarce resources. Training and technical assistance will be provided to users. Providers receive one of more than 100 versions of letters, customized with county-specific information on local agencies, sponsors, and regulations. The data base sorts lists of providers to fax to USDA sponsors.
Providers also receive free newsletters, directories, children's books, and other resources.
