The Early Care and Education Map leverages neighborhood data from Denver’s seven-county metro region to show where quality, licensed early childhood resources are located relative to where young children live. Shift sees great potential for this tool to serve as a more comprehensive early childhood data resource and we look forward to partnering with the early childhood community on its continued expansion, including adding additional data as it becomes available and potentially expanding its geographic reach to the rest of the state.
This tool helps providers, funders, policymakers and advocates better understand the existing landscape of early care and education providers, and it can inform decision-making related to public and private sector investment, provider expansion, spending of quality improvement dollars, and identifying where additional subsidies are needed.
Shift partners with social change organizations that are interested in using data to better serve their communities.
