Mission

KIDS COUNT in Delaware provides high quality data about the well-being of children, youth, and their families for the purpose of effecting positive changes in policies, priorities, and programs.

What We Do

Data, Discussion and Decision Making: For 25 years, KIDS COUNT in Delaware has worked to improve the lives of our youngest residents through data-driven advocacy, policy change and program improvement. Today, our work is more important than ever.

We continue to make a difference for Delaware's children by working to:
- TRACK DATA that reflect how children, their families and communities are faring.
- COLLABORATE WITH DECISION-MAKERS AND OTHER PARTNERS to forward policies and programs that improve the lives of at-risk children and families.
- PUBLISH RESEARCH that sheds light on how policy and programs impact children and their families.
- SERVE AS A RESOURCE by sharing annual statewide data on hundreds of indicators of child well-being and offering data expertise services to our communities and the organizations that serve them.
