Vermont’s Early Childhood Data & Policy Center

Vermont’s Early Childhood Data & Policy Center is a nonpartisan, independent source of data, policy, research, and publications on issues and priorities for children from the prenatal period through age 8 in Vermont. The Center is a project of Building Bright Futures. Our work includes data and research, policy, monitoring, and innovation. Vermont’s Early Childhood Data & Policy Center is a critical tool for centralizing data, advising partners on its use, and informing policy across Vermont’s early childhood system.
