KIDS COUNT, a project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, is a national and state-by-state effort to track the status of children in the U.S. By providing policymakers and citizens with benchmarks of child well-being, KIDS COUNT seeks to enrich local, state, and national discussions concerning ways to secure better futures for all children.
The 17th annual KIDS COUNT Data Book was released June 27, 2006. The entire report is available online with enhanced interactive features. The 2006 Data Book focuses on "Family, Friend, and Neighbor Care: Strengthening a Critical Resource to Help Young Children Succeed".
