    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Midhurst/December 11, 2024 – The County of Simcoe has once again expanded its open data portal, easily accessed at open.simcoe.ca, now delivering insights into the region’s early learning and child care (ELCC) system through its Children Services Power BI Dashboard. This dashboard further builds up the ELCC sector, supporting data-driven decisions to benefit children, families, and service providers across the region.

    This platform enhances transparency and accessibility of critical data related to the ELCC sector across Simcoe County. It offers data on licensed child care, EarlyON/ON y va child and family programs, child care expansion through the Canada Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) program, and early childhood development through the Early Development Instrument (EDI). By aggregating and presenting these data in a user-friendly format, the County aims to address evolving community needs, streamline planning efforts, and deepen understanding of ELCC services.

    Key Features

    • Licensed child care system section provides data on operating capacity and vacancies, allowing users to analyze data by centre type, auspice, and municipality.
    • EarlyON/ON y va child and family centres information includes data on the number of children served from 2022 to the present, including both head office and satellite programs.
    • CWELCC Directed Growth section highlights the expansion of child care spaces across Simcoe County and its member municipalities, illustrating growth patterns in both licensed centre-based and home-based care.
    • Early Development Instrument (EDI) offers insights into early childhood developmental milestones based on the last two cycles of data collection.

    This tool offers a valuable perspective on the growth and demand for early learning and child care services in Simcoe County.

    About open.simcoe.ca
    In October 2023, the County introduced open.simcoe.ca, an online data portal that helps the County of Simcoe and its partners build up our communities and inform strategies that support social services by tracking real-time data and other trends across the region. This new tool adds to the offerings available on this site, which already includes homelessness and shelter data, affordable housing data, and a census tool.

    The Children Services Power BI Dashboard is the latest in a series of resources available to the public, municipalities, and businesses, as part of the County’s new data portal, open.simcoe.ca.

    About the County of Simcoe
    The County of Simcoe is composed of sixteen member municipalities and provides crucial public services to County residents in addition to providing paramedic and social services to the separated cities of Barrie and Orillia. Visit our website at simcoe.ca.
