Child Care Desert Mapping
This map breaks down to hyper-local data and provides information to help parents, government officials, and policymakers better understand where child care deserts occur in Maryland. By making this type of child care data transparent, the public gains information to support initiatives in regions where early care and education programs are most needed.
