Abstract: The vision for OKFutures is that all Oklahoma’s infants, toddlers, and preschoolers will be prepared for happy, healthy, and successful lives. To accomplish this vision, OKFutures will develop the capacity of families, communities, public agencies, and private organizations to provide children from birth to age 5 equitable and seamless access to the physical, emotional, and educational supports they need to thrive. Oklahoma was awarded a federal Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) by the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in December 2018 to advance these efforts. The OKFutures needs assessment is the first of five activities to be completed under the Oklahoma PDG B-5 grant. It leverages multiple methods and data sources to identify common themes and key findings. It provides the rationale for a future five-year strategic plan and will inform new efforts to maximize parental choice; share best practices to increase program quality, collaboration, and efficiency; and improve overall quality across the early childhood care and education (ECCE) mixed delivery system. The needs assessment also serves as a baseline against which to measure future progress.
