Maps of child care centers and family child care homes help ensure that first-responders and emergency personnel in your community know where children are in a disaster. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), CCAoA is able to use maps and data analysis to understand the economic landscape that child care centers are located in, analyze accessibility of child care resources, and determine child care deserts. This work is powered by Esri’s ArcGIS software, which allows us to visualize our data, including NDS data, survey data, and population statistics from the Census Bureau. With this software, we can show spatial relationships and disparities to bring to policymakers, advocates, and other members of the Child Care community to continue towards our mission of a high quality, affordable health care system. Furthermore, utilizing specific maps, we provide Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&Rs) agencies with valuable information to aid their process of pairing providers to children and families, based on their unique needs.
