The summary report is designed to provide a high level review of the NC Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) regulatory and subsidy information on a monthly basis.
The resource provides access to child data on topics including physical and mental health, access to quality health care, and the child’s family, neighborhood, school, and social context. Data is made easily accessible to parents, researchers, community health providers and anyone interested in maternal and child health.
