The seventh Project THRIVE Short Take provides an overview of state-level indicators for early childhood systems, including a review of indicators currently in use and a set of recommended indicators.

This issue brief reflects NCCP’s continuing commitment to ensuring that every low-income child enters school with the skills to succeed, and that policymakers have access to the very best research to create policies that use public resources in the most effective, smartest way.
