North Dakota Health & Human Services Sets New Standard for Data-Driven Decision-Making in Early Childhood Care

February 16, 2025

North Dakota’s Health and Human Services (ND HHS) is a state government agency that provides public assistance programs to North Dakotans of all ages. Its Early Childhood program aims to provide quality early childhood experiences, support workforce needs through improved childcare access, and align resources with critical needs.

However, managing early childhood data with crucial information spread across multiple agencies was challenging, frequently requiring multiple spreadsheets and extra steps to make data visible to the public. This fragmentation made it difficult to track services and outcomes effectively, hindering the state's ability to provide comprehensive support for children and their families.

Using state and federal grant funding, ND HHS turned to LearningMate’s data solutions team to help implement an Early Childhood Integrated Data System (ECIDS) to aid in data-driven policy decision-making.
