- Database Search Database searches produce instant Excel spreadsheets for selected areas, years, early childhood services/programs, and demographics. Use this search for data on:
- licensed child care centers
- licensed family child care homes
- IDHS Child Care Assistance Progam (CCAP)
- child care program accreditations
- child care centers and homes providing school-age care (before/after school)
- You can also do a multiyear search that lets you compare tabular data for a single data type (PFA, Head Start, etc.) over multiple years. Great for identifying trends and changes over time.
