2019-2020 School Year Data Now Available
As we approach the new school year, learn more about last school year’s kindergarteners on the ECLDS website. By browsing our reports, you can access and view data for the 2019-2020 school year, all the way back to the 2013-2014 school year, for a total of seven years of data.
Take a closer look at what the data tell you about Minnesota's young children and their families in your district or county. ECLDS reports can help you learn about the children participating in early care and education programs and inform possible strategies to support their participation and development.
Go deeper into the data by filtering your search options by school year, disability type, home language, child's gender, and birth record criteria, among others.

More Robust Minnesota Public
Preschool Data in ECLDS Reports
This summer, the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) began sharing in the ECLDS its Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) and School Readiness Plus (SRP) program data. The VPK and SRP data combine with the School Readiness program data that has always been part of ECLDS to offer you more robust and complete data about Minnesota District Preschool. Because each program started in different years, School Readiness data are included beginning with the 2013-2014 school year reports, VPK data begin with the 2016-2017 school year reports, and SRP data begin with the 2017-2018 school year reports. Learn more about the three public preschool programs on the MDE website.

Use the ECLDS for Your
Community Assessment Reporting
The new ECLDS Community Assessment report is intended as a one-stop shop for much of the state-available information required for Head Start federal reporting in particular, and can also be used by school districts, county staff, local agencies, and more.
The report pulls information on young children from the Minnesota Departments of Health, Education, and Human Services, as well as the ECLDS Census Data Tool. Access this new report in the ECLDS menu, under Birth to Pre-K Reports or quickly jump to the report from here.
When using the report, keep in mind that categories vary by the fiscal year you choose. For example, there are seven available data categories when fiscal year 2020 is selected, while there are twice as many data categories when fiscal year 2015 is chosen. This is because the most recent Census data available in the ECLDS is from 2015.
