- The number of ASQ-3 screens are self-reports from the agencies currently agreeing to provide information. We are aware that more screens have been done, but, to get to our eventual goal of screening every child and identifying areas of opportunity, these screens not only need to happen, but need to be in a centralized database.
- Capacity is the maximum number of children that a childcare can accommodate, not necessarily the number of children who attend that childcare.
- To participate in the WI YoungStar rating system, a childcare must be willing to accept a WI Shares child, or a child from an economically disadvantaged background, and agree to be a part of the YoungStar system.
- Once they are a part, training and funding can be available to the center

Notes:
- For Gateway and Parkside data: In order to protect student privacy and/or provide more meaningful comparisons, data for other races/ethnicities are not reported due to small student population sizes.

- In the ACS, "Hispanic or Latino origin" is not mutually exclusive of the other races/ethnicities listed (unless otherwise noted), unlinked race/ethnicity data from Gateway and Parkside.
- Latest data points in the Parkside graduation tabs are preliminary.
