The document highlights the features of Iowa’s Child Care Connect dashboards, which allow users to track current vacancies, evaluate gaps between child care supply and demand, and monitor trends over time.

Customizable filters enable analysis by city, county, age group, and program type—including participation in Iowa Quality for Kids (IQ4K®) and the Child Care Assistance Program. By offering timely, region-specific data, the dashboards are designed to empower state and local leaders, community organizations, and private sector partners in assessing and addressing child care needs.
