In the Spring of 2020, Kids Forward published its first report that specifically examined racial equity in Wisconsin’s Early Care and Education (ECE) system. Unsurprisingly, the resulting data showed significant disparities in access to high-quality childcare as determined by YoungStar rating. Fortunately, we did not see this same inequity in four-year-old kindergarten (4K) participation across the state.

This brief interim analysis report updates the findings from our 2020 report with three more years of data (2017-2019). There has been very little change. The new information mirrors the results from our baseline 2020 report that relied on 2016 numbers. The same trends have continued now over four years.

The full report is available.
