Thrive by Five Washington: Using Efforts to Outcomes (ETO™) Software Since 2008

Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of early childhood development. They show that before our children even enter kindergarten, 40% of them are as much as 18 months behind. Moreover, even at this early age, an ability gap of up to 60% or more already exists between the children in the highest and lowest socioeconomic groups. Factors such as language and cultural issues, lack of transportation, and cost can make it difficult for local governments and non-profits to impact these troubling statistics. Thrive by Five Washington is a ground-breaking collaborative which brings early childhood education efforts together, in order to ensure that all children enter kindergarten ready to learn and be successful.

In 2008, Thrive by Five Washington selected ETO performance management software to meet its data sharing needs and to support its commitment to data-driven decision making. ETO software empowers Thrive by Five Washington to do more than just collect data. The ETO platform highlights the connection between the efforts and outcomes of each of the agencies and programs, both collectively and respectively. Not surprisingly, Thrive by Five Washington’s data management system underlies all of the seven core strategies it employs for improving early childhood outcomes.

Data Sharing Improves Outcomes for Early Childhood Learning

Using this collaborative services software, Thrive by Five Washington has created a coherent data system that measures each child’s readiness for Kindergarten against all of the programs and services that that child participated in, from prenatal care through entry into kindergarten.  Outcomes can be analyzed over time and across programs, for a deep and comprehensive look at each participating child’s progress. At a state level, the ETO softeare application has worked especially well with Washington’s Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS), and at a national level, ETO software’s ease of use and power has made it the product of choice for thousands of high performing nonprofit, government, and collaborative organizations, which serve over 4 million participants each day.
