Kentucky Early Childhood Data System

KEDS, funded through the Kentucky Department of Education, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services First Steps and Division of Child Care, and the UK Commonwealth Collaborative, is responsible for supporting the state’s reporting requirements for the child outcomes for early childhood under IDEA. This includes the development and implementation of a universal data platform system that collects and correlates assessment results for approved Curriculum Based Assessments (CBA) to Kentucky’s standards and benchmarks and to national OSEP child outcomes and summary statements.
